history

Lichtenberg art dealer

In April 1891, Theodor Lichtenberg opened a branch of his art dealer in Wroclaw on Ferdinandstrasse in Dresden . In autumn 1892 the Lichtenberg'sche Kunstsalon in Dresden moved into new premises with improved lighting conditions in the new Viktoriahaus building . The opening exhibition took place on October 6th with works by Andreas Achenbach , Oscar Achenbach , Leopold von Kalckreuth and Paul Friedrich Meyerheim , among others . In April 1893 Ferdinand Morawe became the owner of the art shop.

An exhibition of works by the then young Edvard Munch took place in the Kunstsalon Lichtenberg in 1893 , only a short time after the first Munch exhibition in Germany, which opened in Berlin on November 5, 1892. The exhibition in Berlin aroused violent protests and was closed prematurely after a week. The dispute over the exhibition in Berlin led to the foundation of the Berlin Secession . From November 4th to December 1st, 1894, the first joint exhibition of the Dresden Artistic Association was shown in the Lichtenberg Art Salon . The Dresden Association of Visual Artists was the first of the Dresden secession movements . 119 works by 35 members were presented.
