Opening of the retrospective 'Achim Freyer Pictures' in Biesdorf Castle
A look at the artistic journey by Achim Freyer
The opening of the retrospective “Achim Freyer Pictures” is just around the corner and is on 15. September 2024 at 6:00 p.m. in Schloss Biesdorf, Alt-Biesdorf 55, 12683 Berlin . This important exhibition goes beyond the presentation of works of art; It offers the public the opportunity to explore the extensive history of life and creating one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
Achim Freyer, who was born in Berlin in 1934 and was a master student of Bertolt Brecht, has left impressive footprints in various art forms for over seven decades. His career was characterized by a tireless pursuit of freedom and artistic development, which is particularly visible in his work, which emerged under the conditions of two dictatorships. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to observe these breaks and continuities in his work.
The retrospective is curated by Johannes Odenthal by the Achim Freyer Foundation and Karin Scheel , the artistic director of the Biesdorf Palace. This cooperation helps to understand Freyer's work as a whole, from its figurative beginnings to the abstract masterpieces of the past two decades.
Visitors can the exhibition from 15. September 2024 to February 23, 2025 Experience daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Fridays until 9:00 p.m., whereby admission is free. It is worth exploring the different phases in Freyers - especially the works that were created in the GDR and the subsequent innovative techniques that shaped his time in the West.
A special focus is Freyer's influence on the art scene in Europe. His work was recognized internationally and he was represented twice on the important documenta. There he exhibited work that reflected the social and political issues of his time, such as the legacy of National Socialism and the division of Germany. These topics are also present in the current retrospective and invite visitors to think about the role of art in social discourses.
In addition, other exhibition locations are part of the retrospective, including the Kunsthaus of the Achim Freyer Foundation in Lichterfelde West, which houses a unique collection of his work, and the church on Hohenzollernplatz, which was equipped with its glass windows in the early 1990s.For art lovers and interested visitors, this retrospective not only marks a celebration of Freyer's 90th birthday, but also a contribution to the appreciation of his life's performance. An associated publication, the monograph "Achim Freyer Pictures", offers a deeper insight into his artistic work and appears exactly on this occasion.
summarized the exhibition shows how Freyer's work not only acts as an expression of individual creativity, but also as an important element of cultural identity, which remains relevant across the limits of time and space. For the cultural scene of Berlin and beyond, this is an event of great importance that reveals another chapter in the history of modern art.
