Munich, August 23, 2021 (KK) - This collection features many big names of German post-war painting: Baselitz, Kiefer, Lüpertz and Uecker are just a few of the celebrity artists for which the collector couple has a fancy. Their collection will be showcased at Ketterer Kunst in Berlin under the title "Was uns ins Auge sprang" (What Caught Our Eye) as of September 10..

Over decades the collectors, who value their anonymity, have shown an extremely good feel for quality. They maintained personal contacts with the relevant galleries and the artists represented in their collection. In doing so they put focus on German abstraction: Whether Cobra, Informel, Spur, New Figuration or Zero – it was always the singularity of a work and the special something that caught the couple's eyes that was decisive for the purchase.

For this reason this German private collection perfectly fits the concept of Germany's leading auction house: "Quality is our top priority. An expert eye and the feel for an artwork's peculiarity are enormously important", says Robert Ketterer, auctioneer and owner of Ketterer Kunst. "I am particularly happy about the opportunity to present this one-off collection at our Berlin representation in a most suitable setting and to make it accessible to the public for such a long time."

In total around 40 fascinating works by artists such as Pierre Alechinsky, Horst Antes, Willi Baumeister, Peter Brüning, Williem N. Copley, Martin Disler, Lothar Fischer, Karl Otto Götz, Hans Hartung, Gerhard Hoehme, Jörg Immendorff, Asger Jorn, Per Kirkeby, André Lanskoy, Hermann Nitsch, A.R. Penck, Serge Poliakoff, Sigmar Polke, Heimrad Prem, Arnulf Rainer, Antonio Saura, Emil Schumacher, Helmut Sturm, Theodor Werner, Fritz Winter and HP Zimmer will be on display.

On occasion of the opening on September 9 from 7 to 9 p. m., the welcoming speech by Dr. Simone Wiechers, curator and Berlin representative of Ketterer Kunst, will be followed by an introduction from Prof. Dr. Siegfried Gohr, art historian and former museum director.
