In 1908 Werefkin and Jawlensky met the avant-garde dancer Alexander Sacharoff, who became a model and lifelong friend to both artists. Sacharoff came from Mariupol and debuted in Munich in 1910 with dancers that challenged theatrical conventions by combining historical and contemporary costume in ways that expressed gender fluidity. During the First World War, the couple stayed in touch with Sacharoff (all three now based in Switzerland) and at one point in 1917, lived next door to each other in Zurich amid the burgeoning Dada movement.

Making Modernism
(November 2022 - February 2023)
Making Modernism is the first major UK exhibition devoted to pioneering women working in Germany in the early 1900s: Paula Modersohn-Becker, Kӓthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter and Marianne Werefkin.
Celebrated in their native homelands, this exhibition will introduce their innovative paintings and works on paper, alongside key pictures by Erma Bossi, Ottilie Reylaender and Jacoba van Heemskerck.
The exhibition reframes subjects such as self-portraiture, still-life, the female body, depictions of childhood, landscapes and urban scenes through the experiences and perspectives of these ground-breaking artists who – although less familiar than their male counterparts, such as Wassily Kandinsky – were no less central to the development of radical new approaches to art in Europe.
Bringing together 65 works, many never seen in the UK before, Making Modernism foregrounds the individuality of each artist whilst shining a spotlight on the strong affinities between them. Combining impressive, bold and intimately-scaled works, this exhibition explores themes of identity, representation and belonging – all powerfully relevant today.

The Kunsthalle Bremen is an art museum in Bremen, Germany. It is located close to the Bremen Old Town on the "Culture Mile" (German: Kulturmeile). The Kunsthalle was built in 1849, enlarged in 1902 by architect Eduard Gildemeister, and expanded several more times, most notably in 2011. Since 1977, the building has been designated a Kulturdenkmal on Germany's buildings heritage list.
The museum houses a collection of European paintings from the 14th century to the present day, sculptures from the 16th to 21st centuries and a New Media collection. Among its highlights are French and German paintings from the 19th and 20th century, including important works by Claude Monet, Édouard Manet and Paul Cézanne, along with major paintings by Lovis Corinth, Max Liebermann, Max Beckmann and Paula Modersohn-Becker. The New Media section features works by John Cage, Otto Piene, Peter Campus, Olafur Eliasson, and Nam June Paik. The Department of Prints and Drawings has 220,000 sheets from the 15th to 20th centuries, one of largest collections of its kind in Europe.
The Kunsthalle Bremen is operated by the non-profit Bremen Art Society (German: Kunstverein Bremen), making it the only German museum with an extensive art collection from the 14th to 21st centuries which is still in private ownership
Die Kunsthalle Bremen ist ein bedeutendes deutsches Kunstmuseum, das sich durch wechselnde Ausstellungen ein hohes Ansehen erworben hat. Das Museum liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Bremer Altstadt in den Wallanlagen an der „Kulturmeile“. Träger ist der gemeinnützige Kunstverein in Bremen – die Kunsthalle Bremen ist damit das einzige Museum in Deutschland mit einer umfangreichen Kunstsammlung des 14. bis 21. Jahrhunderts, das bis heute in privater Trägerschaft ist. Das Gebäude steht seit 1977 unter Denkmalschutz
