Erich Fritz Reuter (1911 Berlin – 1997 Berlin) "Portrait of Marcus Behmer." Original title Cement cast, 1955. Beige-colored, polished limestone plinth. Catalog no. Karpen 29. “This bust serves as a memorial to Marcus Behmer, the last bohemian and dandy, and captures the contradictions of this anti-bourgeois rebel, who remained prone to satire, irony, and mockery until the very end, because Reuter had seen in him a kindred spirit” (quoted from H. Erbsmehl). The prominent Berlin graphic artist Marcus Behmer (1879–1958) had been friends with Reuter since the prewar period. In 1960, Reuter exhibited the bust in its cement cast version in a solo exhibition at the Kestner-Gesellschaft in Hanover and at the Leopold Hoesch Museum in Düren. Height of head: 35 cm. Total height: 39.5 cm. Lit./Catalog: Andreas Karpen: “Erich F. Reuter. Monograph and Catalog Raisonné,” Munich 2005, no. 29 with ill. Provenance: Dissolution of a private collection in Berlin. Cement cast, 1955. Polished limestone base.
