The Art Cologne special show "Urformen der Kunst aus Pflanzenreich und fremden Welten" ("Archetypes of Art from the Plant Kingdom and Foreign Worlds") is an attempt to recall a legendary exhibition in Berlin in the 1920s.
It was Karl Nierendorf who exhibited photographs by Karl Blossfeldt in his gallery for the first time in 1926 and also juxtaposed these pictures with sculptures of tribal art from Africa and New Guinea.
Nierendorf, the discoverer and admirer of Karl Blossfeldt's work, published the famous illustrated book "Urformen der Kunst" two years later with the publishing house Ernst Wasmuth, Berlin.
The special exhibition will now, almost eighty years later, pay tribute to the work of the art dealer and publisher Karl Nierendorf. With his passion for modern art, he ranks alongside Paul Cassirer, Alfred Flechtheim and Daniel-Henri Kahnweiler as one of the most important art mediators of the early twentieth century.
