Shop gallery (Berlin)
The shopping gallery Müller is a gallery of realistic art, which in 1962 Berlin was founded. During the time of the division of Berlin , it made an important contribution to the understanding between East and West in the cultural field.
history
On November 20, 1962, Wichart Müller opened the gallery in Bleibtreustraße in Berlin . The aim of the gallery was initially to give young Berlin artists a platform for their work. Here he placed a focus on representational art , which was not a matter of course, not least because of the political situation at the time.
Over the years, the gallery changed its domicile within Berlin several times under its directors Wichart Müller (1927–1974) and later Karoline Müller and Valentin Müller:
- 1962 shop gallery, Bleibtreustraße 5a
- 1964 shop gallery, Bleibtreustraße 20
- 1969 shop gallery, Wilmersdorfer Str. 82/83
- 1970 Shop gallery, Kurfürstendamm 64
- 1997 shop gallery, Urbanstr. 115
- 2001 shop gallery, Brunnenstr. 5
- 2005 Shop gallery, Drontheimer Str. 34
- since 2007 Ladengalerie Müller GmbH, Alt-Tempelhof 26
With over fifty years of history, it is one of the most successful and oldest private galleries in Berlin.
In 1964 the gallery first exhibited works by Lea Grundig , who at the time was president of the Association of German Artists (later VBK of the GDR) . There were discussion forums in the gallery, which received a lot of attention from the press and the public. These were later continued as part of a discussion in the GDR Academy of the Arts . After the building of the wall , the activities of the shop gallery represented the first German-German understanding in the artistic field. These discussions found a long tradition, especially in the context of exhibitions by artists from the GDR in the shop gallery.
The gallery was represented several times at Art Basel , Art Cologne and Art Frankfurt .
In 1987 the gallery owner Karoline Müller , who was managing director and first chairwoman of the Association of Berlin Artists for many years , received the Karl Hofer Prize of the Berlin University of the Arts , the Federal Cross of Merit in 2001 and the Louise Schroeder Medal in 2010 .
Quotes
“Back then, in the 1950s, realistic tendencies in art had a difficult time. The informal and non-objective was popular, and Uhlmann and Karl Hofer faced each other as antipodes at the Berlin University of Fine Arts . The figurative painter publicly argued with the advocate of the abstract, Will Grohmann , about which was better ... For Karoline Müller there was no question of taking on the figurative. Just as there is neither good nor bad art for her, because you will only know that in 100 years, and the young woman was just as open to both directions. Until after graduating in 1962, she decided to found a gallery with her husband, the art theorist Wichart Müller, whom she had met at the university. (Corinna Daniels) "
