Riehen, February 2025
Dear visitors, dear collectors, artists, art lovers, dear friends,
The recent Matisse exhibition at the gallery attracted several thousand visitors, which prompted me to try to accompany the current Fondation Beyeler exhibition ‘Northern Lights’ thematically in the gallery as well.
So I decided to show Munch’s contemporaries in Germany, the Expressionists, in my new exhibition. The Brücke artists in particular had an artistic exchange with
Munch and were significantly influenced by his work.However, the global Munch market is absolutely dry. Despite my best contacts with Munch’s most important dealers in Norway, I was unable to acquire enough works.
In addition, I am showing a series of works by other artists who are close to my heart. It would be a great pleasure for me to welcome you in Riehen.
