{"product_id":"9783775763837","title":"National Gallery","description":"Michael Werner is one of the most internationally influential gallery owners of the post-war period. His first exhibition in 1963 caused a scandal, as did many thereafter. But for him, it was never about provocation for its own sake, but always about the possibilities of art to resist rigid structures and assert its own reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book, Werner tells of his childhood during World War II and the struggles of finding his way. He reports on artists with whom he worked, argued, failed spectacularly, and achieved great successes. His accounts, together with photographs and documents, not only form an impressive contemporary testimony, but also show that the artistic tensions that emerged back then are far from fully explored.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Werner\u003c\/strong\u003e, born in 1939, is a German art dealer and gallery owner.

Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Jörg Immendorff, Per Kirkeby, Marcel Broodthaers, and Sigmar Polke.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNils Emmerichs\u003c\/strong\u003e, born in 1988, studied art history and philosophy in Düsseldorf, Basel, and Karlsruhe.
