Max Pechstein ( 88 – 955) is one of the most prominent German artists of the twentieth century, not least because of his crucial role in the breakthrough of German Expressionism. This long overdue biography combines the portrayal of an outstanding artistic personality with the story of an individual German who struggled through the political upheavals of his time. Pechstein's work is presented in the cultural context of museum politics and art associations, art dealers and critics, market forces and cultural trends.

The catalogue of works, also known as the oeuvre catalogue or catalogue raisonné, is considered a fundamental reference work for museums, collectors and art historical research. It is also indispensable for the art market as an instrument used to authenticate and distinguish works. But what requirements should catalogues raisonnés fulfill nowadays? To what extent can digital applications and multidisciplinary approaches provide added value? What part do catalogues raisonnés play in determining authenticity or in the field of provenance research? And what responsibility do authors actually bear for the accuracy of their statements? Around 30 contributions shed light on the genre with numerous case studies, looking at its past and future, theory and practice. First handbook for theory and practice of the catalogue raisonné

The Expressionist and “Brücke” artist Max Pechstein was a pioneering representative of modernism in Germany. His intensely colourful depictions of people and nature are regarded as foundational to Expressionism and were a defining inspiration for an entire epoch. This publication magnificently illustrates the diversity and depth of his oeuvre.Many of his paintings are regarded as icons of Expressionism, yet the stylistic breadth of Max Pechstein’s art extends well beyond his works from the “Brücke” period. He found inspiration in his visits to what he called “painter’s paradises” on the Baltic Sea and the South Pacific, where his focus on the unity of man and nature was crystallized. Pechstein’s art and his yearning for harmony in an unstable world reflect our current and increasingly appreciative view of nature and the environment, and thus serve as a bridge to the present time.
