DEEDS CALENDAR: Kosmos Blauer Reiter. From Kandinsky to Campendonk – Kupferstichkabinett | bis 15.06.2025
For the first time in its history, the Berlin Kupferstichkabinett is presenting its multifaceted and largely unknown collection of works belonging to the artistic cosmos of the Blauer Reiter (Blue Rider) as of 1st March 2025. Wassily Kandinsky and Franz Marc were at the centre of the Blauer Reiter, which was founded in Munich in 1911. Their exhibition activities not only included artists from their inner circle, such as Gabriele Münter and Alfred Kubin, but also protagonists from the national and European art scene, from Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to Robert Delaunay and Natalia Goncharova. Berlin, with its Galerie Der Sturm, was an important platform for the activities of the Blauer Reiter, which came to an abrupt end with the beginning of the First World War in the summer of 1914. In seven chapters and on the basis of around 95 works, the exhibition makes the artistic and stylistic diversity of the Blauer Reiter cosmos tangible.
