Klinkhardt & Biermann is a publishing bookstore founded in 1907 by the publisher Werner Klinkhardt (1882–1926) and the art historian Georg Biermann (1880–1949) in Leipzig .

history

The founding of the publishing house was announced on May 2, 1907 in the Börsenblatt für den Deutschen Buchhandel . Klinkhardt & Biermann published, in particular, specialist literature on art history. The program therefore included publications by the historians Theodor Däubler , Max J. Friedländer , Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub , Wilhelm Hausenstein , Julius Meier-Graefe , Max Osborn and Emil Waldmann . The series Monographien des Kunstgewerbes , published by Seemann since 1901, appeared for more than 20 years and was partially reissued by the publisher. Further series such as Masters of Graphics , Places of Culture or Monthly Bulletins for Art History (1908–1920) and Cicerone. Semi-monthly publication for artists, art lovers and collectors (1909–1932) followed. The Young Art series dealt with topics of the European avant-garde of the early 20th century, in the publications by Heinrich Campendonk , Otto Dix , Vincent van Gogh , Paul Klee , Oskar Kokoschka , Paula Modersohn-Becker , Emil Nolde , Max Pechstein and Pablo Picasso published.

In November 1923, the publishing house was converted into a partnership limited by shares , which Mathilde Dreist and Victor Klinkhardt also managed. Werner Klinkhardt died unexpectedly on November 10, 1926 after a brief illness. In 1933 Georg Biermann relocated the company to Berlin and converted the legal form into a GmbH . In 1935 Richard Carl Schmidt, who himself ran a publishing house for car and engine technology in Berlin, took over the publishing business. During the Second World War , the publishing house was destroyed in an air raid in 1944 and publishing activities could not be resumed until 1948 in Braunschweig , as Schmidt owned a building here. The management was taken over by Ilse Gutsch, the daughter of Richard Carl Schmidt, who divided the different publishing areas into two publishers. R. C. Schmidt took over the technical literature, while the art historical publications remained with Klinkhardt & Biermann. Together with Ernst Raschka she published works for collectors on the subjects of painting and graphics, ceramics and porcelain (such as the guide for collectors of porcelain and faience ), glass and pewter, furniture and carpet art, historical weapons or clocks and numismatics .

The Klinkhardt & Biermann publishing house was taken over by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung GmbH in 1980 and has been based in Munich ever since. The new managing directors were Heinz-Friedrich Bläsing and Hermann W. Farnung, who expanded the publishing program to include exhibition and museum catalogs. In 2004 Klinkhardt & Biermann, which had been merged with Koehler & Amelang since 1993 , was integrated into Prestel Verlag . As of 2008, the independent publishing activity ceased and the company was sold to the Random House publishing group . The publisher got its own publisher profile again when it changed hands again in 2010 and was acquired by Annette von Altenbockum. The company has been run as a limited liability company since August 3, 2011 . The Young Art series, which was published from 1919 to 1933 with 62 volumes, was revised, reissued and continued in 2012.
