Description: Over seven decades, art dealer, academic, collector and artist friend Eberhard W. Kornfeld (b. 1923 in Basel, Switzerland) has dedicated himself to the life and work of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. His interest has led to the development of one of the most important privately owned collections of Kirchner?s work. Now, for the first time in Germany, a comprehensive presentation of the work Kirchner produced in Switzerland is on show. This exhibition at Brücke-Museum encompasses paintings, watercolours and drawings, prints, sculptures as well as applied works of art from the Kornfeld collection.00'The Swiss Years' focuses on those works that the artist produced in the isolation of the Alps and while living amongst a rural community. Kirchner was exceptionally productive during this time: After staying at the Stafelalp in the Canton of Graubünden, he moved to the farm estate In den Lärchen in 1918. His style continually evolved, influenced by new motifs and stimulated by elements of traditional Swiss craftsmanship. From autumn 1923, Kirchner lived in a house on the Wildboden. Today, both houses are owned by Eberhard W. Kornfeld. 00Exhibition: Brücke-Museum, Berlin, Germany (15.12.2018 - 31.03.2019).
