Expressionist painting, Portrait of a woman

9. November 2024, 3.00 – 4.00pm

The exhibition Biographies of Modern Art. Collectors and Their Works presents eight Jewish collectors who supported the Brücke artists during their time. The names of Rosy Fischer, Max Osborn, Elsa Glaser, Hans and Walther Heymann, Rosa Schapire, Hugo Simon and Victor Wallerstein have been almost completely forgotten today. The exhibition aims to commemorate them and pay tribute to their contribution to modern art. Their biographies, work and networks are brought to life in the exhibition through the collectors’ former works of art, historical documents and photos as well as interviews with experts and descendants. A new mural by artist Sophie von Hellermann provides a contemporary approach. Co-curator Ruth Ur invites you to take a tour of the exhibition and provides insights into her curatorial approach.
