Further Information: Run by art dealer and publicist Herwarth Walden and his wife Nell Walden, Galerie Der Sturm was perhaps one of the most important places for Europe’s early avant-garde movements. It helped artistic networks to grow and connect, even reaching as far as North American artists and art dealers.
The Futurist art movement, which was led and founded by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, held its first exhibition in Germany at Galerie Der Sturm in 1912. Praising patriotism and war as “the only hygiene in the world,” as well as supporting the destruction of museums, feminism, and libraries, the Futurists considered aggression to be an active part of artistic production and a new world order. Marinetti was later an active member of the fascist movement in Italy and a supporter of war.
