until (to follow) | #4579 ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from 7th February 2025 the exhibition innen raum land schaften by the artist Achim Freyer.

The painter, theatre maker, collector and university lecturer Achim Freyer was born in Berlin in 1934, studied painting and graphic art in Berlin-Schöneweide, became a master student of Bertolt Brecht in 1955 and fled the GDR to the West in 1972 due to artistic reprisals. He became one of the defining artistic personalities of post-war modernism in Germany and world-famous as a director, stage and costume designer. Having grown up in two dictatorships, his artistic work is characterised by a lifelong urge for artistic development.

His work reveals the ruptures and continuities of an impressive artistic biography between East and West. As a visual artist, he was invited to documenta twice, in 1977 and 1987. Since then, Achim Freyer’s constantly growing oeuvre has been exhibited nationally and internationally. In his work, Achim Freyer fights for the visibility of perception itself; drawings and paintings reflect these processes on the border between introspection and exterior space.

The development of his austere abstract painting in the 1960s from the horizontal and the vertical axis of orientation is the result of a consistent continuation of the increasingly essential depiction of the human field of perception from the horizontal of the eyes and the vertical of the forehead, nose, mouth and chin. The figurative reminiscences in drawing and painting are important points of concentration in an abstraction that seeks to liberate colour in order to reveal the space-creating energy of the surface.

Speaking at the opening: PETER RAUE
