Kornfeld Gallery Berlin

Online-Ausstellungs-Serie: Spotlight Exhibitions.

19 January – 19 February 2024

Germany is commemorating Caspar David Friedrich‘s 250th birthday this year

and we are joining the celebration!

We are excited to launch our new online curated exhibition series, „Spotlight exhibitions,“ with this inaugural show: Modern Echoes in honour of Casper David Friedrich !

The artists featured in this exhibition vary significantly in their artistic approach, yet the artworks presented here share common themes: which of course is landscape,

Nature in all its facets …

In moments of quiet reflection, these works evoke the profound sense of awe we experience in response to nature, prompting contemplation about our place within it,

the comfort humans find within a natural environment as well as our negative and destructive influence.
