Mülheimer Freiheit [made in Cologne] Adamski - Bömmels - Dahn - Dokoupil - Kever - Naschberger (English)

Under the name MÜLHEIMER FREIHEIT, Hans Peter Adamski, Peter Bömmels, Walter Dahn, Jirí Georg Dokoupil, Gerard Kever and Gerhard Naschberger exhibited together for the first time in November 1980 at the Paul Maenz Gallery in Cologne and soon thereafter internationally. The way they purposefully questioned the pseudo-individual "creative" artist ego in an unpathetic and humorous way ensures them a special status in the "Hunger nach Bildern" [hunger for images] to this day. Clearly more and different than just "Wilde Malerei" [wild painting] in their approach. MÜHLHEIMER FREIHEIT was an announcement that was to shape the art scene in Europe for an entire decade. The book, with many illustrations of works, offers for the first time an overview of the group's history, made vivid by numerous previously unpublished photographs by Benjamin Katz.Text: Axel Heil, Sophie Hirschmüller, Toby Kamps, Paul Maenz.Artists:Hans Peter Adamski, *1947Peter Bömmels, *1951Walter Dahn, *1954Jirí Georg Dokoupil, *1954Gerard Kever, *1956Gerhard Naschberger, *1955
