About Hans Kinkel
The German collector and photographer Hans Kinkel left behind one of the most significant private holdings of German modernism and expressionist art of the 20th century. His collection encompassed works by important artists from classical modernism to postwar art and uniquely combined photography, visual arts, and art-historical documents. Together with Klapheck he published the Catalogue Raisonné of graphic arts, 1977–1980. After his death, a substantial part of the estate was presented in the exhibition “From Kirchner to Baselitz – A Century’s Heritage: The Hans Kinkel Collection” at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. The exhibition made the extraordinary quality and art-historical relevance of the collection accessible to a broad audience and established Hans Kinkel’s estate as an important testament to German art and cultural history.
