Brigitte Kölle
The multifaceted creator, artist, collector, gallery owner and curator Konrad Fischer (Düsseldorf, 1939-1996) played a highly influential role in the conceptual art and minimalism of the sixties and seventies, and also introduced the major American artists of his generation to Europe.
In 1967 he opened a gallery at 12 Neubrückstrasse, a narrow street in downtown Düsseldorf, quickly turning it into a laboratory for his brilliant ideas. Fischer was also an enormous influence on a generation of artists who led one of last avant-garde movements in Western art during the second half of the twentieth century.
Son[i]a talks to Brigitte Kölle, author of the book “okey dokey Konrad Fischer”, about the life and personality of this key figure in Western contemporary art.
Friedrich Meschede and Dorothee Fischer speak about the exhibition "With a Probability of Being Seen. Dorothee and Konrad Fischer. Archives of an attitude".
