DIE GALERIE presents Max Ackermann I Pioneer of abstraction
Frankfurt am Main - March 12 – May 28, 2025
With the exhibition Max Ackermann – Pioneer of Abstraction, DIE GALERIE celebrates the life and work of a German pioneer of non-objective painting 50 years after his death. Born in Berlin in 1887 and active primarily in Stuttgart and at Lake Constance, Max Ackermann (1887–1975) ranks among the absolute pioneers of German and international abstraction and deserves to be mentioned alongside celebrated contemporaries such as Willi Baumeister and Wassily Kandinsky. Always eager to experiment and keen to try out new techniques and styles, the artist's work is characterized by an impressive and consistent degree of diversity. “I master all styles”, the artist confidently claimed in the 1960s.
Comprising around 70 works, DIE GALERIE explores the vast range of this artistic genius, from extremely dynamic compositions often inspired by music, to large-scale color fields in varying shades of blue exuding a sense of calm and harmony. Painted between 1930 and the mid-1970s, the pieces in this exhibition work together like a perfectly orchestrated symphony of loud and soft tones, captivating the viewer's attention.
