Brücke-Museum Berlin Karl Schmidt-Rottluff 50 Jahre Schenkung
To mark his 80th birthday, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff gave the State of Berlin 75 of his works in 1964, expressing the desire that they should be made available for public viewing. That same year, the Berlin Senate passed a bill to build the Brücke-Museum, which opened three years later, on September 15, 1967. Now, the Brücke-Museum is commemorating this first donation with an exhibition of Schmidt-Rottluff's 75 paintings and watercolors. It thus pays tribute to its initiator and patron, having in the meantime established itself as an institution of international stature for German Expressionism. The exhibition catalog sheds light on Schmidt-Rottluff's role as a committed preserver of the art of the "Brücke" group, which he co-founded in 1905, while also bringing together for the first time all of the works in the original donation in a single publication. Detailed commentaries on the individual works provide a comprehensive overview of this fundamental building block in the museum's collection.
