Zen 49
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zen 49 was a group of German artists, who came together in Munich in July 1949. Originally the Gruppe der Ungegenständlichen, they took the name Zen 49 the following year.[1]
The seven members were Willi Baumeister, Rolf Cavael, Gerhard Fietz, Rupprecht Geiger, Willy Hempel, Brigitte Meier-Denninghoff and Fritz Winter.[1] They were joined by Bernard Schultze in 1955.[2]
Their first exhibition was held in 1950 at the Central Art Collecting Point in Munich, and the group continued to exhibit until 1957. Retrospectives exhibitions were held in Baden-Baden in 1987, and in Munich in 1999.
