More about the book

The Gunzenhauser collection Most of the more than 2.400 works in Gunzenhauser’s collection fall into the categories of Classical Modernism and Neue Sachlichkeit(New Objectivity) and were first-class art in his individual point of view. They include mainly works by artists such as Otto Dix, Conrad Felixmüller, Alexej von Jawlensky, Gabriele Münter, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Willy Baumeister and Horst Antes, as well as Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Georg Schrimpf, Gustav Wunderwald and Johannes Grützke. These works are a valuable addition to the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, which focus on the painting and sculpture of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. There is a long tradition of collecting contemporary art in Chemnitz, a city founded in the twelfth century by Emperor Frederick I “Barbarossa” at the foot of the Erzgebirgeon the main route connecting Franconia and Bohemia. The small town on the river Chemnitz soon developed into a centre of crafts and commerce.
