Neuere Meister der letzten fünfzig Jahre, aus dem Museum Flokwang zu Essen

Published in 1958 by E.A. Seemann, this volume serves as a comprehensive catalog of the collection held by the Museum Folkwang in Essen. Heinz Köhn, who served as the museum's director, curated this selection to showcase the institution's significant holdings of modern art, focusing on the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The book was produced during a post-war period when the museum was actively re-establishing its reputation as a premier destination for modernism, following the tragic loss of many works during the Nazi-led 'degenerate art' purges.

The publication is designed as an authoritative reference work, reflecting the systematic and scholarly approach characteristic of mid-century German art historical documentation. By highlighting works from the last fifty years—a period spanning the development of Expressionism, Fauvism, and early abstraction—the book documents the museum's core mission to preserve the avant-garde legacy of its founder, Karl Ernst Osthaus. It remains a valuable record of the museum's interior logic and artistic acquisitions during a pivotal era of reconstruction.
