The
Kupferstichkabinett presents Willi Baumeister’s drawings in the first
comprehensive museum exhibition of his work in Berlin since his major
retrospective at the Neue Nationalgalerie in 1989.
Both the
exhibition, curated by Andreas Schalhorn, and the catalogue, published by
Wienand Verlag, include around 100 works. In addition to the 1930 painting
‘Femme’ – on loan from the Nationalgalerie – and approximately 50 drawings by
Baumeister – many of them on loan from the Archiv Baumeister im Kunstmuseum
Stuttgart and from a private collection – the exhibition also features prints
by the artist from the Galerie des 20. Jahrhunderts, on display for the first
time in years. Additionally, comparative works by his contemporaries and friends
(including Otto Meyer-Amden, Oskar Schlemmer, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso,
Joan Miró, Karl Otto Götz, and Jackson Pollock, among others) from the
collection of the Kupferstichkabinett will be on display. Individual works by
artists of subsequent generations, including Philip Guston and A. R. Penck, are
a conclusive testament to Baumeister’s pioneering talent for figurative
expression on paper.
