Notes and research we would like to share with you
Galerie von Garvens, Hannover – The Gallery of a Collector
Herbert von Garvens was not a gallerist, he was not an art dealer, he was not a museum director, and he was not the director of a non-profit space. He was an important collector who wanted to share his enthusiasm and discoveries with the public, at a time, in which new art, the avant-garde was much less accepted than we may be aware of today, 100 years later.

Influential Contemporary Art Exhibitions in the 20th and 21st Century

Dreier Bequest Artist Update – G.M. (Georg Meyer?) is Gerd Meyer
The text about the artist G.M. (Georg Meyer?) in the catalog raisonné states that Katherine Sophie Dreier bought seven watercolors of this artist in Bremen in 1930 from the ‘Galerie Moderne Kunst’.
