The 85th anniversary of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's death will be in 2023 - the Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive is taking this as an opportunity to dedicate an online exhibition to the artist. The Ernst Ludwig Kirchner Archive on the artist's complete works has been built up since 1978 by Dr. Wolfgang Henze and Ingeborg Henze Ketterer and has been located in Wichtrach/Bern since 1993.
The online exhibition makes use of the archive's rich sources and accompanies Kirchner's 'last pictures' with passages from his letters to revive the events of the last years 1937/38 in Davos and the world on the anniversary of his death.
In the years 1937 and 1938, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, despite the internal and external circumstances of his life(s), was extremely active, creating significant works, consolidating his artistic self-image and steadily developing his painting until his abrupt death on June 15, 1938.
The online exhibition is curated by Patrick Urwyler.
