Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart

Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart (1899-1962) was one of the most influential artists of German Constructivism and, amongst other things, a member of the De Stijl group surrounding Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. 2012 marks the fiftieth anniversary of his death, which is a fitting occasion for a richly illustrated survey of his work. Selected works and documents, some of them never before made public, present Vordemberge-Gildewart not only as a painter and graphic artist but also as an interior designer, typographer and architect. Sketches and photo-collages from his visitors' books also give a picture of his artistic environment, which included not only László Moholy-Nagy and Hannah Höch but also writers such as Joachim Ringelnatz.
