Sascha Wiederhold. Rediscovery of a Forgotten Artist / Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin
  • last year
Sascha Wiederhold. Rediscovery of a Forgotten Artist is a special exhibition by the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. The show presents works by Sascha Wiederhold (1904-1962) for the first time in nearly half a century. It’s also the very first museum presentation dedicated to this artist alone. Sascha Wiederhold began painting in 1924 and belonged to the circle around Herwarth Walden’s Berlin gallery Der Sturm. During the Nazi period, he discontinued his practice and worked as a bookseller; today, only few of Wiederhold’s works survive. The Neue Nationalgalerie presents more than fifty of Wiederhold’s paintings and drawings.
