SUMMARY:"Sechs Wochen sind fast wie lebenslänglich..." Das Potsdamer Polizeigefängnis Priesterstrasse / Bauhofstrasse 
Stiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse\, Potsdam (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Stiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse in Potsdam examines for the first time the history of the Potsdam police prison\, the prison where Fritz Ascher spent almost 5 months in 1939. When the prison building in what is today Henning-von-Tresckow-Strasse was torn down in 2002\, Potsdam historian Hannes Wittenberg was able to save two original artefacts\, both today in the collection of the Potsdam Museum: an original prison door and a model of the prison building built by prisoners in the 1980s for fire protection exercises. Both objects are on display in the exhibition\, together with original photographs and documents of the prison building. Fritz Ascher is one of the former prisoners\, whose biography is being told. (website link) \nQuestions being asked in the exhibition are: When and why was the prison being built? Who was detained there? The exhibition also turns the spotlight on the Gestapo regional office in Potsdam and members of the Potsdam Gestapo. The prison’s later use as a remand centre for the Ministry of State Security (Stasi) is also highlighted. \nThe exhibition is organized in cooperation with the first ever retrospective of the Expressionist Fritz Ascher (Berlin 1893-1970) that is on view at the places where Fritz Ascher lived and worked\, with parallel exhibitions at Potsdam Museum (December 10\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018) and at Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim (December 8\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018). \nPhotos ©Dr. Bauers\, Potsdam (nos. 1\, 2)

SUMMARY:"Leben ist Glühn" Der Expressionist Fritz Ascher 

Potsdam Museum - Forum für Kunst und Geschichte\, Potsdam (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Coming home: With more than 80 paintings and works on paper\, the worldwide first Fritz Ascher Retrospective is on view at the places where Fritz Ascher lived and worked\, with parallel exhibitions in Berlin and Potsdam. \nEach venue shows a representative group of powerful paintings and drawings\, which span Ascher’s whole oeuvre from first academic studies to monumental Expressionist figure compositions to late landscapes. Both venues present Fritz Ascher’s poems\, written while hiding from Nazi persecution\, as “unpainted paintings” in relation to his artwork. \nThe Potsdam Museum shows Ascher’s artistic development in four galleries\, starting with early masterworks like the monumental “Golgotha” and “The Tortured”. The second gallery shows Ascher’s love for music and stage and for the Clown theme with “Bajazzo”. Ascher’s landscapes after 1945 are featured in the third gallery\, with the exploding “Sun”\, wide landscapes with sunsets\, flowers and trees. Thanks to Historian Hannes Wittenberg from the Potsdam Museum new research about Ascher’s time in Potsdam 1934-39 can be found in the fourth gallery\, with the locations where he hid\, and documents tracing the story of his persecution by the Nazis. A short film introduces into Fritz Ascher’s life and work. (website link) \nThe exhibitions are on view at Potsdam Museum and at Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim until March 11\, 2018. \nStiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse in Potsdam researches the prison where Fritz Ascher spent almost 5 months in 1939 in “Sechs Wochen sind fast wie lebenslänglich …’ Das Potsdamer Polizeigefängnis Priesterstraße/Bauhofstraße” (13 December 2017 – 29 April 2018). \nThe retrospective is under patronage of the German Minister of Culture and Media Prof. Monika Grütters. \nA comprehensive German/English catalogue with essays by Jörn Barfod\, Eckhart Gillen\, Wiebke Hölzer\, Ingrid Mössinger\, Ori Z.

SUMMARY:"Leben ist Glühn" Der Expressionist Fritz Ascher 

Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Coming home: With more than 80 paintings and works on paper\, the worldwide first Fritz Ascher Retrospective is on view at the places where Fritz Ascher lived and worked\, with parallel exhibitions in Berlin and Potsdam.\nEach venue shows a representative group of powerful paintings and drawings\, which span Ascher’s whole oeuvre from first academic studies to monumental Expressionist figure compositions to late landscapes. Both venues present Fritz Ascher’s poems\, written while hiding from Nazi persecution\, as “unpainted paintings” in relation to his artwork. \nIn Berlin\, Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim shows an overview of the artist’s creative development\, with a focus on works that relate to Berlin. We see his sketch of the artist Max Liebermann as well as his love for music and performance in Weimar Republic paintings like “Beethoven” and “Bajazzo and Artists”. After surviving the Nazi terror regime in hiding in the Berlin Grunewald neighborhood\, he painted these works over in 1945\, with points and short brushstrokes in vibrant colors that distance the viewer. But soon he completely changes form and content of his artwork. Ascher turned to landscapes created in response to long walks in the Grunewald city forest\, which bordered the neighborhood where he survived in hiding\, and then lived until he died in 1970. We see the few works in which we can recognize the locale\, like “Hunting Castle Grunewald” or “Uncle Tom’s Huette”. His work becomes more immediate and urgent. \nThe upstairs cabinet room re-imagines Ascher’s living room and invites the visitor to sit down and pick up books from Ascher’s library or poems he wrote in hiding. Important documents are shown next to a map with his Berlin addresses\, and the Nazi organizations surrounding them. An 18 minute documentary film invites to learn more about Fritz Ascher’s story. (website link) \nThe exhibitions are on view at Potsdam Museum and at Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in der Villa Oppenheim until March 11\, 2018.\nStiftung Gedenkstätte Lindenstrasse in Potsdam researches the prison where Fritz Ascher spent almost 5 months in 1939 in “Sechs Wochen sind fast wie lebenslänglich …’ Das Potsdamer Polizeigefängnis Priesterstraße/Bauhofstraße” (13 December 2017 – 29 April 2018). \nThe exhibition is under patronage of the German Minister of Culture and Media Prof. Monika Grütters.\nA comprehensive German/English catalogue with essays by Jörn Barfod\, Eckhart Gillen\, Wiebke Hölzer\, Ingrid Mössinger\, Ori Z.

SUMMARY:"Beauteous Strivings": Fritz Ascher\, Works on Paper
 
New York Studio School\, New York (USA)
DESCRIPTION:For the first time in the United States\, this exhibition presents works on paper by the German Expressionist Fritz Ascher (1893-1970). In these landscapes\, made after 1945\, the artist radically departed from the figural compositions he created during the Weimar years. At the same time\, he built on his Expressionist visual language of vigorous brushstrokes and expressive colors. \nBorn 1893 in Berlin\, Ascher showed talent early. At the age of 16\, he studied with Max Liebermann\, who recommended him to the Königsberg Art Academy. Soon after\, he studied with Lovis Corinth in Berlin. In contact with such artists as Emil Nolde and Edvard Munch\, Ascher developed an expressionist pictorial language and created powerful figural compositions. \nAfter 1933\, the Jewish-born Ascher was not allowed to produce\, exhibit or sell his art. He survived the Nazi regime mostly in hiding\, writing poetry. He continued to live in Berlin after 1945 and resumed painting\, mainly in solemn solitude. \nThis exhibition’s more than 30 works on paper give an intimate glimpse into Ascher’s temperament and artistic personality. Living close to the Grunewald\, the expansive city forest of Berlin\, he observed and painted nature in different light\, at different times\, and in different seasons. He created powerful images of trees and flowers\, sunrises and sunsets in which light and shadow are dominant visual forces. The trees\, with heavy\, strong trunks\, stand isolated or in groups. Dramatic moments are expressed by intense colors. The formally innovative and atmospherically dense landscapes reflect Ascher’s complex emotional life. With expressive hues\, bold brushstrokes and reckless surface treatment\, Ascher found a powerful and independent artistic voice. \nThis exhibition is curated by Karen Wilkin and is organized in collaboration with The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted\, Ostracized and Banned Art\, Inc.\, whose mission it is to research\, exhibit and publish the work of artists that are unknown to the public\, because they were suppressed by the Nazi regime.( website link)

SUMMARY:“Hauptstadtfussball” 125 Jahre: Hertha BSC & Lokalrivalen 

Ephraim-Palais Museum – Stiftung Stadtmuseum Berlin\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:July 25th\, 2017 is the 125th birthday of the Berlin soccer club Hertha BSC. This birthday is celebrated with a special exhibition at the museum Ephraim-Palais\, which enables visitors to experience captivating chapters of Berlin sports- and city history. Today Herta is Number One among Berlin soccer clubs\, followed by East Berlin’s Union Berlin. But those who know the scene know that there are more than 400 soccer clubs in Berlin\, with more that 150\,000 members\, as well as numerous soccer fields and pubs for fans. \nFritz Ascher’s drawing “Soccer Players” from c. 1916 is part of this exhibition. The artist portraits a dramatic scene: surrounded by four players the forward attacks from the left. His leg is still up from the shot against the goal. But the goalie holds the ball – he seems to have jumped vertically into the air to catch the ball in front of his chest. On the right side\, the goal is indicated\, with a player from the opposing party. The soccer field is surrounded in the background by a high fence\, with a building on the left. This could be the Schebera field at Behmstrasse in the Berlin borrough Gesundbrunnen. Here\, Herta played since 1904\, and was the first team on the continent to win a professional English team\, Southend United England. With this victory\, the Schebera field became the soccer center of Northern Berlin. \nAm 25. Juli 2017 feiert Hertha BSC seinen 125. Geburtstag. Für das Stadtmuseum Berlin ist das runde Jubiläum willkommener Anlass\, sich mit einer Sonderausstellung im Museum Ephraim-Palais dem facettenreichen Thema »Hauptstadtfußball« zu widmen. Rund um die Geschichte der Hertha können Fußballbegeisterte aller Couleur packende Kapitel der Berliner Sport- und Stadtgeschichte mit all ihren Höhen und Tiefen nacherleben. Heute ist die in West-Berlin beheimatete Hertha die Nummer eins der Hauptstadt\, gefolgt vom Ost-Berliner Lokalrivalen Union Berlin. Doch Kenner der Szene wissen: Die Berliner Fußball-Landkarte setzt sich aus mehr als 400 Vereinen zusammen\, bevölkert von 150.000 Mitgliedern des Berliner Fußball-Verbands und gesprenkelt von zahllosen Bolz- und Kunstrasenplätzen sowie Fankneipen aller Bundesligaclubs. Diese bunte Mischung macht den Hauptstadtfußball so einmalig. \nFritz Aschers Zeichnung “Fussballspieler” von ca. 1916 ist Teil dieser Ausstellung. Der Künstler hält eine dramatische Szene fest: Umgeben von vier Spielern greift der Stürmer von links an. Sein Bein ist noch gehoben vom Torschuss. Aber der Torwart hält den Ball – er scheint senkrecht in die Luft gesprungen zu sein\, um den Ball vor seiner Brust halten zu können. Rechts hinter ihm ist das Tor angedeutet\, in dem sich ein gegnerischer Spieler befindet. Der Fussballplatz ist im Hintergrund umgeben von einem hohen Zaun\, an den links ein Gebäude grenzt. Dies könnte der Schebera-Platz an der Behmstraße im Berliner Ortsteil Gesundbrunnen sein. Hier spielte Herta BSC seit 1904\, wurde 1906 Berliner Meister und wurde 1910 die erste Mannschaft des Kontinents\, die mit Southend United England eine englische Profimannschaft besiegte. Mit diesem Sieg wurde der Schebera-Platz zum Fussballzentrum im Berliner Norden. \nPhotos ©2017 Rachel Stern

SUMMARY:"Leben ist Glühn" Der Expressionist Fritz Ascher 

Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz MUSEUM GUNZENHAUSER\, Chemnitz (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:The worldwide first Fritz Ascher Retrospective is on view at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – MUSEUM GUNZENHAUSER from March 5 to June 18\, 2017. (website link) \nThe main focus of the presentation at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz – MUSEUM GUNZENHAUSER is on the artist’s important early masterworks like “Golgatha” (1915)\, “Bajazzo and Artists” (ca. 1916) and “The Tortured” (ca. 1916). \nFor the first time ever\, Fritz Ascher’s “Golem” from the collection of the Jewish Museum Berlin will here be reunited with other works the artist created between 1913 and 1933. \nThe Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz is home to an important collection of German Expressionism\, dominated by artwork of the locally founded Expressionist group Brücke and especially Karl Schmidt-Rottluff\, who grew up in Chemnitz\, along with Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Erich Heckel. The MUSEUM GUNZENHAUSER is home to the vast Expressionist art collection of Alfred Gunzenhauser\, with the worldwide largest collection of works by Otto Dix (1891-1969) and Alexej von Jawlensky (1865-1941).\nHere\, the presentation of Fritz Ascher’s work will be complemented by a parallel presentation of Expressionist art from the museum collection. This allows the viewer to experience Ascher’s work in the context of the artists who surrounded him. \nThe exhibition is under patronage of the German Minister of Culture and Media Prof. Monika Grütters. \nA comprehensive German/English catalogue with essays by Jörn Barfod\, Eckhart Gillen\, Wiebke Hölzer\, Ingrid Mössinger\, Ori Z. Soltes and Rachel Stern accompanies the exhibition. (catalogue link)\nHere is a first review. (link) \nThe Fritz Ascher retrospective opened at the Felix-Nussbaum-Haus in Osnabrück (September 25\, 2016 – January 15\, 2017) and will travel from Chemnitz to the Museum Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf at Villa Oppenheim in Berlin (December 8\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018) and the Potsdam Museum (December 10\, 2017 – March 11\, 2018)\, and the Kallmann Museum in Ismaning (September 30 – November 24\, 2018).

DESCRIPTION:The Aktive Museum in cooperation with the Gedenkstätte deutscher Widerstand and the Gedenk- und Bildungsstätte Haus der Wannsee-Konferenz is examining the practice of restitution after 1945 in divided Berlin\, which is shown on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the liberation from the National Socialist Regime. website \nEspecially in Berlin\, where during the Cold War two completely different concepts of restitution existed side-by-side\, their political framework and its consequences for the restitution procedures can be demonstrated like nowhere else. \n27 individual cases vividly present diverse groups of victims and restitution procedures in Berlin West and East. They illustrate the repercussions of the often lengthy procedures for the victims. At the same time\, the sociopolitical parameters can be determined that caused late restitution to specific groups of victims. In addition\, the players of these proceedings – organizations of victim groups as well as lawyers and government representatives – are portrayed. \n“»Making Amends« Compensation and Restitutions in a Divided Berlin” is on view from October 9\, 2015 until January 14\, 2016 at the Gedenkstätte deutscher Widerstand\, Berlin and from September 29 until November 18\, 2016 at Landgericht Berlin/Amtsgericht Mitte\, Berlin. \nA catalogue was published by Lukas Verlag\, Potsdam. catalogue

SUMMARY:"Golem" 

Jüdisches Museum Berlin\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:Fritz Ascher’s monumental painting “Golem” from 1916 is part of the exhibition “Golem” at the Jewish Museum Berlin (September 23\, 2016  – January 29\, 2017).website \nThe myth of the human being that can create new life is the central theme of the large thematic exhibition “Golem” at the Jewish Museum Berlin. Until today the most prominent Jewish legendary figure inspires generations of artists and writers. The exhibition presents the Golem from its Jewish mystical source to popular narratives for film or in artistic and digital media. Formed in clay or dust\, a being is brought to life by mystical rituals including Hebrew letter combinations. Created by a human being\, the Golem becomes a helper\, a companion or the savior of a Jewish community in danger. In many Golem stories the creator looses control over his creation and is threatened by it. Based on the Golem the exhibition explores themes like creativity\, creation\, power and salvation. The exhibition shows the thematic richness of the story\, as it is told in medieval manuscripts and multi-layered narratives in artworks from the past 200 years. The Golem lives in painting\, sculpture\, object art\, video\, installation\, photography or illustration\, and with it the question what it means to be human. \nDer Mythos vom Menschen\, der künstliches Leben erschaffen kann\, steht im Mittelpunkt der großen Themenausstellung über den Golem im Jüdischen Museum Berlin. Bis heute inspiriert die prominenteste jüdische Legendenfigur Generationen von Künstlern und Autoren. Die Ausstellung präsentiert den Golem von seiner Erschaffung aus einem Ritual der jüdischen Mystik bis hin zum populären Erzählstoff im Film oder dessen Fortschreibung in künstlerischen und digitalen Welten. Ein Wesen\, geformt aus unbelebter Materie wie Staub oder Erde\, wird durch rituelle Beschwörung und hebräische Buchstabenkombinationen zum Leben erweckt. Geschaffen von einem menschlichen Schöpfer\, wird der Golem zum Helfer\, zum Gefährten oder zum Retter einer jüdischen Gemeinde in Gefahr. In vielen Golem-Erzählungen gerät das Geschöpf außer Kontrolle und der Golem selbst wird zur Bedrohung für den\, der ihn geschaffen hat. Anhand der Golem-Figur untersucht die Ausstellung Themen wie Kreativität\, Schöpfung\, Macht und Erlösung. Die Ausstellung zeigt die thematische Fülle des Stoffes\, wie er sich in mittelalterlichen Manuskripten\, in vielschichtigen Erzählungen und in Kunstwerken aus den letzten zweihundert Jahren darstellt. Ob in Malerei\, Skulptur\, Objektkunst\, Video\, Installation\, Fotografie oder Illustration: Der Golem lebt und mit ihm die Frage danach\, was es bedeutet ein Mensch zu sein.catalogue \nPhotos ©2016 Rachel Stern

SUMMARY:Zerstörte Vielfalt. Berlin 1933-1938-1945. Eine Stadt erinnert sich 
Kulturprojekte Berlin\, Berlin (Germany)
DESCRIPTION:“Diversity Destroyed. Berlin 1933-1938-1945. A City Remembers”\, is an outdoor exhibition organized by Kulturprojekte Berlin (Cultural Projects Berlin). It  commemorates the systematic suppression of Berlin’s burgeoning cultural landscape by the Nazis\, on the occasion of the  80th anniversary of Hitler’s ascension to power on January 30\, 1933 and the 75th anniversary of the so-called “Night of Broken Glass” on November 9/10.  \nForty information pillars are placed on important public squares in Berlin\, reminding pedestrians of people\, who were important to Berlin’s vibrant cultural life during the Weimar Republic\, encompassing musical performance\, dance\, theatre\, cinema and much more. Over 200 biographies feature people\, who the Nazis wanted to erase from public memory\, and who were persecuted\, ostracized and/or banned. Among them are well known personalities like Albert Einstein\, but most of them are not known. \nThe theme of the information pillars on Frankfurter Tor is diversity in the Underground. One of the pillars features painter and poet Fritz Ascher (1893-1970)\, an important proponent of German Expressionism. When Hitler came to power in 1933\, Ascher was denounced as politically suspect\, banned from practicing his profession\, and his art was branded degenerate’. In 1942\, Ascher went into hiding in a villa in Grunewald\, where he survived and continued to live after 1945. There\, he created atmospherically dense landscapes of the Berlin city forest Grunewald\, arguably his strongest artistic work.
