Anselm Dreher

One of the most renowned gallerists in Berlin tells the fascinating story of his gallery, which he founded in 1967. A native Berliner, Anselm Dreher describes his early years, the period before unification, and the development of Berlin into an international art metropolis. Encounters and experiences are brought to life in brief episodes that reveal Berlin’s sense of closeness and cooperation and highlight important artistic positions. Early on, and against prevailing trends, the gallerist presented the works of internationally acclaimed artists such as Carl Andre, John M. Armleder, Lawrence Weiner, and Heimo Zobernig. Clear and unwavering – this is how, in his preface, Wulf Herzogenrath describes the longstanding work of Anselm Dreher. Integrated in the book is a concept by the artist Heimo Zobernig – a collection of names and terms, which serves as an individual and entertaining lexicon.
Wo ist denn hier die Ausstellung … is an extraordinary work for art enthusiasts, insiders, and novices.
