Mathias Goeritz
SKU: ART202
Born in Danzig, Germany in 1915, Goeritz trained as an art historian at Berlin’s Humboldt University. Geopolitical and sociocultural events, however, would propel his reinvention as a Modern artist. Living as a citizen under the Third Reich for the entirety of World War II, Goeritz took a teaching role as an art history professor at the Deutsche Akademie in Spanish-controlled North Africa. As the end of World War II gave way to the beginning of the Cold War, the international avant-garde re-emerged on both sides of the Atlantic.
