Rudolf Zwirner: Give Me the Now - An Autobiography (Hardcover)

Rudolf Zwirner, "the man who invented the art market," as coined in Der Spiegel, reflects on more than sixty years in the art business in his authoritative autobiography. An art dealer of the ages, Rudolf Zwirner, father of the esteemed gallerist David Zwirner, reached many milestones in his career. From co-founding Art Cologne, the first fair for contemporary art, in 1967, to showing works by Georg Baselitz, Gerhard Richter, and Andy Warhol, Zwirner transformed the contemporary art scene in Cologne. Born in 1933, he presented more than three hundred exhibitions from the early 1960s to 1991. In his autobiography, Zwirner reveals stories of artists, his gallery, and his most important collector, Peter Ludwig, whose collection forms the cornerstone of the Ludwig Museum in Cologne. First published in 2019 in German, and translated and adapted here for the first time in English, the book explores the most significant moments of Zwirner's career and the fast-changing postwar art world of. Also included in this edition is a new introduction by Lucas Zwirner, Rudolf's grandson, who reflects on his grandfather's role in bringing us to the global art landscape we find ourselves in now.
