Karl Fred Dahmen Prints and Multiples

German, 1917-1981
Karl Fred Dahmen (1917–1981) was a German painter, sculptor, and printmaker known for his dynamic abstract compositions and expressive use of color and form. Born in Stolberg, Germany, Dahmen initially trained as a blacksmith before studying painting at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. He emerged as a prominent figure in the post-war German art scene, experimenting with various styles including abstraction and gestural painting. Dahmen's work often explored themes of nature, industrialization, and the human condition, reflecting his own experiences and observations of the world around him. Throughout his career, he exhibited extensively in Germany and internationally, gaining recognition for his innovative approach to art-making. Today, Dahmen's works can be found in major museums and collections worldwide, where they continue to captivate audiences with their vibrant energy and emotive power.

He is also father of film director and screenwriter James Mangold. Mangold first trained at the Cleveland Institute of Art from 1956-59, and then at Yale University, New Haven, (BFA, 1961; MFA, 1963). In 1961 he married Sylvia Plimack, and they moved to New York. In the summer of 1962 Mangold was hired as guard at the Museum of Modern Art. Mangold's work challenges the typical connotations of what a painting is or could be, and his works often appear as objects rather than images. Elements refer often to architectural elements or have the feeling architecture to them. He almost always works in extensive series, often carried through both paintings and lithograph works on paper. Mangold’s early work consisted largely of monochromatic free-standing constructions. In 1968 he began employing acrylic instead of oil painting, rolling rather than spraying it on Masonite or plywood grounds. Within the year, he moved from these more industrially oriented supports to canvas. In 1970 he began working with shaped canvases and within the year began brushing rather than spraying paint onto canvas. Mangold made his first prints in 1972 at Crown Point Press and has made prints throughout his career, working with Pace Editions and Brooke Alexander Editions. In 1965, the Jewish Museum in New York held the first major exhibition of what was called Minimal art (Minimalism) and included Robert Mangold. In 1967, he won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and in 1969, a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 1971, he had his first solo museum exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum. Major museum exhibitions of his work have since been held the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (1974), the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam (1982), Hallen für Neue Kunst in Schaffhausen (1993), and Musée d’Orsay in Paris (2006). He has been featured in the Whitney Biennial four times, in 1979, 1983, 1985, and 2004. His work is related to Geometric Abstraction.
