The hidden world of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's unique art frames!

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner regarded the picture and its frame as a unit. Contrary to Kirchner's intention that they each belong together, some paintings were separated from their original frames over the years. In Rediscovered & Reunited, they are reunited in a remarkable exhibition, allowing us to rediscover a chapter of modernism that has often been overlooked.

Even as a member of the Brücke, Kirchner designed simple wooden frames for his paintings; later in Davos, these were complemented by more elaborate frame profiles with steps and rounded, grooved, and Baroque elements. This volume is dedicated to the frames and their history in detail, showing for the first time, with prestigious international loans, the development of the art of frames from the early to the late work of the famous Expressionist artist.

Half linen, visible cardboard, hot foil stamping on cover and spine, trimmed on three sides.
