KARL HORST HÖDICKE | 030

The new location, KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT, opened its doors with a solo exhibition by Karl Horst Hödicke, honoring the artist’s biographical connection to Berlin and its history.
As one of the most important representatives of German Neo-Expressionism as well as the co-founders of the Neue Wilde movement, Hödicke has made Berlin and its ever-changing landscape a central motif in his work. With broad brushstrokes and a bold color palette, Hödicke visualizes places from across the city, lending his works the feeling of seeing a place through memory. The infamous bar "Exil," the lobby of the hotel Esplanade, or the corner of Dessauer Straße and Bernburger Straße, where Hödicke once witnessed an accident, are all depicted in paintings on view in the exhibition 030 at KÖNIG TELEGRAPHENAMT.
