The "Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon" (First German Autumn Salon) was one of the most important large-scale international exhibitions of Modern art to be shown in Germany before World War I. Staged in derelict rooms on Berlin's Potsdamer Strasse between 20 September and 1 December 1913, the exhibition included over 360 works by some 90 artists. It was organized by the Berlin writer and critic Herwarth Walden (1878-1941) under the banner of his Der Sturm Gallery, working in collaboration with a group of Expressionist artists including Wassily Kandinsky, August Macke and Franz Marc, known by their collective name Der Blaue Reiter. - Bottom of spine ca. 3 mm frayed, otherwise very well preserved.
