About This Item
Berlin: Galerie Gerd Rosen, 1947. 11 3/4 x 16 1/2", poster lithographed in two colors.
A rare poster from the Galerie's earliest and most important period, when the gallery was still operating from its original location on Kurfürstendamm. It is difficult to understate the importance of the gallery, which bookseller Gerd Rosen opened in August 1945. Iwas the first postwar exhibition space devoted to modern art in the wartorn city. In particular, the gallery championed artists which the Nazi's had labelled as degenerate. Uhlmann was one of those artists. He had been imprisoned on charges of sedition in 1933, shortly after wire become an important element of his work. One of the preminent abstract sculptors of the postwar period, Uhlmann was closely associated with the gallery, even serving as its second director. His prison sketches and drawings were the subject of a recently released monograph in Germany.
The poster, designed by Uhlmann, features a striking geometric portrait of two subjects kissing.
Folded once, with some light overall toning, marginal creasing, especially along the right margin, and a couple short closed nicks. Very good.
