DIRECTOR'S CUT – BUCHHEIM'S EXPRESSIONISTS

20.02.2024 – January 2025

One focus of the Buchheim Collection is on Expressionist art, including works by Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Otto Mueller and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. In addition to these companions of modern art, Lothar-Günther Buchheim recognized the quality of painters close to them, such as Max Kaus and Otto Beyer. He also collected artists with strong figures such as Paula Modersohn Becker and Lovis Corinth as well as Max Beckmann, Conrad Felixmüller and Alexej von Jawlensky. What they all have in common is that they each sought independent answers to the emerging non-representational painting that went beyond tradition.
