From Haverkampf Leistenschneider to Kaufhaus Des Westens
Arthur returns to Berlin for a late May gallery road trip with Alise, before she takes on a new position as a gallery director in Portugal.
Still piecing together the best exhibitions of Berlin Gallery Weekend, our art drivers head to Haverkampf Leistenschneider, to see Aubrey Levinthal’s exhibition ‘Cloud Cover’. It’s hard to overstate the poetry of this show. There is so much to take in – so many stories to unravel in each composition – that it really deserves to be seen in person, before closing on 15 June.
From there, the drive and conversation meanders towards KaDeWe, Frank Auerbach’s exhibition ‘The Charcoal Heads’ at The Courtauld, and a discussion of how exactly the show will continue with Alise no longer in Berlin (spoiler: Arthur will call her on the car phone, and there may be one or two new guest hosts in the passenger seat).
