Specialising in German Expressionist and Classical Modernist works on paper, Thole Rotermund Kunsthandel has been one of the leading contacts for collectors throughout Europe in this field for over 20 years. The focus is on important artists of the early 20th century: August Macke, Franz Marc, Paul Klee, Alexej von Jawlensky, Lyonel Feininger, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Emil Nolde and others. But the abstract tendencies of early post-war art, such as Ernst Wilhelm Nay and Eduard Bargheer, are also represented. The enthusiasm and passion is for the medium of paper. This is linked to the joy of the freedom, intimacy and immediacy of hand drawing in all its forms and its spontaneous and emotional – but often also fully mature – artistic character, which never ceases to fascinate.
