Großgörschen 35 was a self-help gallery of Berlin artists that existed from 1964 to 1968 in a former factory floor in Berlin-Schöneberg , named after the address Großgörschenstraße 35. It is considered one of the first so-called producer galleries and was a model.

history

Poster for the Peter Sorge exhibition , Berlin 1966

Under the name Großgörschen 35 , sixteen painters came together in 1964 in Berlin-Schöneberg in an exhibition group:

These artists, who knew each other from their studies at what was then the Berlin University of the Arts , had, in contrast to an artist group such as B. Gruppe Zebra does not have a uniform artistic program that would be set out in a founding manifesto. However, they had a common goal: "Overcoming common market strategies ", as Franz-Rudolf Knubel put it in the 1989 catalog for the exhibition of the Berlinische Galerie Stations of Modernism , since they had no chance on the official art market of the time.

The artists rented an empty commercial space in Schöneberg (former carpentry in the backyard), converted it into an exhibition space and jointly provided the financing.

Similarities existed in their painting training with teachers such as Mac Zimmermann , Harry Kögler , Fred Thieler , Werner Volkert , Ludwig Gabriel Schrieber , Hann Trier , Max Kaus , Otto Coester , Ernst Fritsch . However, there were more “confrontations than similarities” , some painted informally, others still or again objectively. Especially the later, paying guest exhibitors show little of a connection with the first “Großgörschenern” (the Großgörschen gang).

The first year of the group is considered significant because, as quoted by Ursula Prinz , “they summarized and made known the most important young artists of the time who would later achieve different fame.” And further: “It was the beginning of a renewal of Art that has not only retained its place in modern art history to this day, but continues to have an effect. "

After a year, Hödicke, Lüpertz and Wintersberger left the group, while guests such as Edwin Dickman , Eberhard Franke and Bernd Koberling joined them. - Members paid monthly membership fees, while guests only paid the cost of their exhibitions once. The members decided on the admission of guest exhibitions.

Eva and Lothar C. Poll joined them in 1966, Lothar C. Poll became honorary managing director in 1966, and the group was entered in the register of associations. The progressive dissolution of the group led u. a. for the establishment of the Poll gallery in Berlin. It was not until years later that individual participants, including above all Sorge, Diehl, Petrick, Berges and Albert , who are also known as “ Critical Realism ”, came together to form the Aspect group. The art critic Heinz Ohff , one of the most important supporters of the time, wrote in the magazine Kunst , 1976: "From Großgörschen a special Berlin post-war art direction grows, the critical realism influenced by both Dada and realistic tradition."
