Leipzig annual exhibition
The Leipzig Annual Exhibition ( LIA ) was an art exhibition held in Leipzig from 1910 to 1927 by predominantly German modern artists such as Max Klinger and Max Liebermann . Since 1992 there has been a new series of events with the same name with contemporary works by Leipzig artists.
history
In 1910 the Association of Visual Artists Leipzig (eV) organized the first annual exhibition in the municipal department store . The following concern was thus pursued:
“The Secession has set itself the task of organizing an annual exhibition in Leipzig every year. With this exhibition, the association aims to promote the ideal and economic aspirations of Leipzig painters, sculptors and graphic artists, and on the other hand to be active in the design of our domestic art and thus to secure Leipzig an important position in German art life. The exhibition, which not only contains works by Leipzig artists, but in which artists from all German art cities are represented, shows the appreciable way in which the Leipzig Secession enterprise has received attention from foreign artists and no less from the Leipzig Artists Association and the Leipzig Artists Association . "
In order to realize the annual presentation, Max Klinger and other Leipzig artists as well as art lovers founded the “Leipzig Annual Exhibition eV” on January 15, 1912. Max Klinger and the sculptor Johannes Hartmann chaired it . In the 1912 show, which took place in the Städtisches Handelshof at Grimmaische Strasse 1, over 200 German and European artists exhibited painting and sculpture. These included many well-known names in the art that is celebrated today as Classical Modernism . So took u. a. Ernst Barlach , Max Beckmann , Franz Hofer , Käthe Kollwitz , Claude Monet , Wilhelm Lehmbruck , Max Liebermann , Henri Matisse , Max Pechstein , Pablo Picasso , Pierre-Auguste Renoir , Auguste Rodin and Max Slevogt participated in the exhibition with one or more works. The last of these exhibitions took place in 1927.
Established in 1992
In 1992 the association Leipziger Jahresausstellung eV was founded by artists and committed citizens . The association's chairman has been the Leipzig art professor Rainer Schade since 1995 . Since 1993, the Leipzig Association has held annual exhibitions at changing locations, each with around 25 Leipzig artists.
