Schöneberger Ufer 71, D-10785 Zwischen Dix und Mueller

Tue-Sat 2pm-6pm

Zwischen Dix und Mueller at Aurel Scheibler, Berlin, from December 10, 2014 to January 31, 2015

“For thirty years the public has been confused. Ever since the Armory Show countless starting new art forms have only succeeded in provoking one question: What is art – for heaven’s sake?” Karl Nierendorf, 1942

The exhibition „Zwischen Dix und Mueller“ („Between Dix and Mueller“) highlights the work of a group of early 20th century artists, whose lives and careers were fractured by one, if not two, world wars but whose names are now firmly established in art history. It also reflects the story of a gallery, whose activities were tightly connected with this generation of artists, and whose tireless efforts to promote their work, both in America as well as in Europe, helped to shape their reputation and renown internationally.

Against the backdrop of Yvonne Groß’s recently published biography Between Dix and Mueller. The Berlin art dealer Florian Karsch and the Nierendorf gallery*, the exhibition shows works by Marcel Breuer, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, Lyonel Feiniger, George Grosz, Erich Heckel, Hannah Höch, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Otto Mueller, Emil Nolde, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Josef Scharl and others.

On an historical side note, the gallery spaces at Schöneberger Ufer, which are now occupied by Aurel Scheibler housed the Nierendorf gallery from 1933 through 1938. It is not unthinkable that some of the works from the current exhibition were shown on the very same walls nearly one century ago.
