African objects in the Hermann Gerlinger Collection

“Hermann Gerlinger's collection is impressive not only for the quality of some of the individual pieces in it but also for the range of what the collector identified as art. Just as the artists of the 'Brücke' group expanded the existing canon of their days, especially by taking the aesthetics of exotic sculptures seriously for the first time, Hermann Gerlinger included objects in his African art collection that 30 years ago could only have been found in a museum of ethnology.”
Adam Jones, quoted from: Hermann Gerlinger, Christian Philipsen, Thomas Bauer-Friedrich (eds.), Inspiration des Fremden. Die Brücke-Maler und die außereuropäische Kunst, 2016, p. 15.
