Summary:
The artist Enrique Martinez Celaya and the collectors Gudrun and Martin Fritsch have the same passion for many years: their enthusiasm for German artist Kathe Kollwitz and the examination of her work. While the Berlin-based collectors have built a significant private Kollwitz collection, the artist has referenced his 100-year-older predecessor in many of his own works. Perhaps this is why there are telling parallels between the artistic practices of Martinez Celaya and Kollwitz. Both explore the correlation of drawing and sculpture, and both articulate a deeply felt humanism. For this exhibition at Galerie Judin, Enrique Martinez Celaya has created a group of works that capture the essence of his exploration of Kathe Kollwitz, shown here in a fascinating dialogue with works from the Fritsch Collection.00ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA (*1964) was born in Cuba, grew up in Spain and Puerto Rico, and studied physics and painting in the United States. He is a painter, sculptor, and writer living in Los Angeles, California. His work is represented in exhibitions and collections of important institutions worldwide.00KATHE KOLLWITZ (*1867) was born in Konigsberg (now Kaliningrad) and died in 1945 in Moritzburg. Her work in drawing, printmaking, and sculpture made her one of the most significant German artists of the last century.00Exhibition: Galerie Judin, Berlin, Germany (06.02. - 10.08.2021).
