Max Liebermann
After his early death in 1985 Catherine Franke concentrated the art dealership on classics of modern painting. Among the artists in the gallery were Marc Chagall, Karl Hofer, Max Pechstein, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Alexej von Jawlensky, and in particular Lovis Corinth and Max Liebermann. In 1992 Catherine Franke organised a Max Liebermann exhibition, which she presented at Cologne and Zurich, and in Berlin, at Liebermann’s villa at the Wannsee. Through her efforts the villa was given protected monument status and the Max Liebermann Society of the Liebermann villa was founded. From this year on the Zurich "Galerie Dr. Schenk" and the Munich "Kunstsalon Franke" collaborated on joint projects.
