  • NEW WORLDS – Stilleben mit Holzfigur

  • In the early 20th century Karl Ernst Osthaus compiled collections of Modernist artworks, European craft items and non-European artworks from a wide range of cultural regions and placed these in dialogue with one another. After his death in 1921 the Osthaus Collection was acquired by the newly founded association Folkwang-Museumsverein for the City of Essen and in 1922 it was consolidated with the existing collection of the municipal museum Städtisches Kunstmuseum under the direction of Ernst Gosebruch. Like his friend Osthaus, Gosebruch, who had managed to acquire important works for Städtisches Kunstmuseum in the previous years, advocated supporting the artistic avant-garde and consistently expanded the museum collection up until his early retirement enforced by the Nazis in 1933. Early acquisitions made for the museum collection by Osthaus and Gosebruch in the years 1902 to 1914 are presented in this room.
