FRIEDRICH VORDEMBERGE-GILDEWART UND DIE KESTNER GESELLSCHAFT
Abstrakt - Konkret - Absolut
11 March – 7 May 2017
From 1924 to 1934, the artist Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart lived in a studio at the Kestner Gesellschaft on Königsstrasse and was responsible for the design of tickets, posters and exhibition catalogs. As one of the first German Constructivists, he thus helped shape the typography and printed materials of the Kestner Gesellschaft over an extended period. These years in Hanover were extraordinarily important to the young “VG,” as his friends called him, since it was here that he met Kurt Schwitters, Hans Arp, Käte Steinitz, and Theo van Doesburg.
