Abstract: Galerie Schmela was one of the most
important art galleries in Germany in the postwar period. Through a prescient program of
exhibitions, founder Alfred Schmela introduced and promoted innovative European and American
artists, such as Joseph Beuys, Arman, Gerhard Richter, the group ZERO (Otto Piene, Günther
Uecker, Heinz Mack), Hans Haacke, Christo, Lucio Fontana, Robert Indiana, Yves Klein, Gordon
Matta-Clark, Jean Tinguely, Richard Tuttle, and numerous others. Mainly concentrated on the
1950s through the 1970s, the Galerie Schmela records include: correspondence with artists
and clients; gallery financial records; vintage photographic documentation of installations,
gallery openings, and artworks; and extensive files of printed ephemera, posters, and press
clippings.

Biographical / Historical Note
When German art dealer Alfred Schmela opened a gallery devoted to contemporary art in
Düsseldorf in 1957, the moment was propitious. The industrial Ruhr area in which the gallery
was located had especially benefited from the prosperity of the postwar "Economic Miracle"
coming out of the policies of the Adenauer government and the American Marshall Plan. The
new climate of wealth encouraged art collecting. With Germany divided and decentralized
after the war, Düsseldorf and Cologne were becoming significant and influential art centers.
The Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen and municipal exhibition venues, Kunsthalle and
Kunstverein in both cities, opened their doors to contemporary art. At the Kunstakademie
Düsseldorf, Joseph Beuys attracted and influenced students and independent artists from the
time of his appointment as professor of sculpture in 1961 until well into the 1970s.
Schmela's first gallery was in a small shop in the Hunsrückenstrasse 16-18, which opened
with an inaugural exhibition of Yves Klein on May 31, 1957. The gallery operated at this
location until December 1966, and in January 1967 moved temporarily to the Schmela family's
apartment. Also in 1967, Schmela, together with Hein Stünke, Rudolf Zwirner, and several
other local art dealers, co-founded the Verein progressiver deutscher Kunsthändler
(Association of Progressive German Art Dealers), which took part in its first annual art
fair, the Kölner Kunstmarkt. Schmela resigned from the association in 1968 to focus on
promoting emerging artists and his gallery.
Schmela's new gallery building, designed by the Dutch architect Aldo van Eyck, opened in
September 1971. The distinguished new space, located near the Kunsthalle, opened with the
Beuys show
Barraque d'Ull Odde 1961-1967, and became one of
the first galleries in Germany to exhibit the "new" Americans Gordon Matta-Clark in 1977 and
Bruce Nauman in 1979. In the mid-1970s, Schmela began showing large sculpture and multimedia
installations by artists such as Bernhard Luginbuehl, Richard Serra, and Claes Oldenburg at
the Lantz'sche Villa and Park, the Schmela family's new residence in Düsseldorf-Lohhausen.
This project was not fully realized due to Schmela's death in 1980.
The artists exhibited at Galerie Schmela searched for a new kind of art after the war and
often worked in reaction to Art Informel. Schmela played a pivotal role in the development
of ZERO, a collaborative movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack in Düsseldorf in the
mid-1950s in opposition to Art Informel. In 1961 Günther Uecker joined the group, which
eventually incorporated the work of Yves Klein, Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Daniel
Spoerri, and Jean Tinguely, among others. Schmela's artists represented various, often
overlapping tendencies such as kinetic art, performance, Happenings, Nouveau Réalisme, the
European form of Pop, and auto-destructive art, as well as having a general fascination with
perception and technology. Schmela was a personal friend of Joseph Beuys and a committed
advocate of his art. Galerie Schmela was the site of Beuys's now famous action,
How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare, on 26 November 1965. Also
in 1965, Beuys participated in another important exhibition at Galerie Schmela,
Weiss-Weiss.
Schmela maintained a heavy exhibition schedule and was committed to placing his artists in
museums. Among numerous exhibitions that contributed to his gallery's reputation are Klein's
propositions monochromes, in 1957; Tinguely's
Konzert für 7 Bilder und andere Skulpturen (Concert for seven paintings
and other sculptures)
, in 1959; Arnulf Rainer's
Übermalungen (Overpaintings), in 1962; two Beuys shows in 1965; Robert Morris's
1964 exhibition and performance with Yvonne Rainer; and other shows in the 1960s, including
Christo's packages and storefronts, Robert Indiana's number paintings, Arakawa's diagrams,
George Segal's plaster sculptures, and Günther Uecker's first solo show of nail pictures in
1961. From 1957 to 1980, the following artists had their first solo or group exhibition in
Germany at Galerie Schmela: Yves Klein (1957), Antoni Tàpies (1957), Georges Mathieu (1957),
Sam Francis (1958), Jean Tinguely (1959), Konrad Klapheck (1959), Lucio Fontana (1960),
Arman (1960), Martial Raysse (1961), Günther Uecker (1961), Morris Louis (1961), Kenneth
Noland (1962), George Segal (1963), Robert Morris (1964), Jörg Immendorff (1965), Joseph
Beuys (1965), Gordon Matta-Clark (1977), and many others.
After Schmela's death the gallery continued to operate under the guidance of his widow,
Monika Schmela. Upon Monika's death, the Schema's daughter, Ulrike Schmela-Brüning, moved
the gallery to Berlin where it operated from 2005 to 2013 as a constituent of Kunstsammlung
Nordrhein-Westfalen under the name Schmela Haus.

Acquisition Information
Acquired in 2007.
Processing History
The archive was initially processed by Laura Schroffel, who also created a preliminary
finding aid. Isabella Zuralski further processed the archive, created the final series
arrangement, and completed writing the finding aid in June 2011. The biographical/historical
note was adapted from text by JoAnne Paradise.
Separated Materials
Several periodical issues and monographs, including two rare publications on Joseph Beuys,
were transferred to the Getty Research Library for individual cataloging and can be found by
searching the library catalog for Galerie Schmela Collection.
Scope and Content of Collection
The Galerie Schmela records reveal the work of a passionate art dealer focused on seeking
out and promoting new and innovative artists emerging in the changing social, political, and
cultural landscapes in postwar Europe and the United States. The archive documents the
gallery's business under Alfred Schmela's direction from the inaugural show in 1957 until
his death in 1980, as well as the continuation of the gallery by Schmela's widow and
daughter during the 1990s, with a few items dated to 2006.
The most substantial series comprises correspondence with artists, collectors, art dealers,
museums and museum curators, and art critics, revealing Schmela's instrumental role in
shaping the art market by introducing innovative and challenging contemporary art to private
collectors and museums. Extensively represented is correspondence with Shusaku Arakawa,
Joseph Beuys, Christo, Lucio Fontana, Michael Gitlin, Robert Indiana, Christian Löwenstein,
Georges Mathieu, Robert Morris, Walter Pichler, Otto Piene, Raphael Jesús Soto, and Richard
Tuttle.
In Series II are the particularly extensive files Schmela developed on some of the artists
with whom he worked. The Joseph Beuys files contain ephemera, press clippings, typescripts,
printed matter by various authors and institutions concerning his artistic practice,
teaching, and political activism, and correspondence including the gallery's exchanges with
Beuys's estate and family, and with clients. The files on Yves Klein and ZERO include
correspondence, ephemera, typescripts, extensive press coverage. The Klein file also
contains a recording of the opening of his first solo show at Galerie Schmela in 1957,
labeled "Diskussion anlässlich der Ausstellungseröffnung Yves propositions monochromes."
Series III contains several hundred vintage photographs of openings, performances, artists
installing their shows, visitors, collectors, installations, individual artwork, and Alfred
Schmela himself and his family.
A small series of materials concerns Alfred Schmela's first auction, held on the premises
of Künstlerverein Malkasten in Düsseldorf on 15 June 1963, and another small series contains
business records and ledgers.
A sizable collection of ephemera in Series VI consists of small catalogs, invitations, a
few artists' books, and numerous posters documenting exhibitions of a vast number of
artists, mostly contemporary, from Europe and North America.
In Series VII press clippings from the mid-1950s to late-1990s, primarily from local daily
newspapers, include reviews of exhibitions held at Galerie Schmela and elsewhere in Germany
and abroad, articles about current trends in contemporary art, art criticism, the politics
of art, Alfred Schmela, individual artists, collectors, museum curators, art dealers,
various art institutions, and the Kölner Kunstmarkt.

Scope and Content Note
This subseries is comprised of sales records and other business correspondence with
private and corporate art collectors, including banks and industrial companies, museum
curators, publishing houses, and various other cultural institutions in Europe and in
United States. Nearly all major German art museums are represented, especially from
the Rhine-Ruhr region. The letters provide insight into the collecting interests of
many of the gallery's clients, and Alfred Schmela's professional activities as an art
dealer, particularly his ways of attracting buyers, his opinion about the artists he
represented, and current art market trends. The letters show Schmela advising curators
about new art movements and thus influencing the shape of German art museums'
collections and exhibiting programs. Frequently included are details regarding
particular artworks, such as title, dimensions, technique, year of creation, and sales
price. Occasionally present are shipping invoices, insurance documents, bank
statements, and other financial records. Interfiled with this subseries are documents
concerning maintenance, repair, utility expenses, and insurance records of the gallery
spaces, and the Schmela family's various personal and business expenses.
Arrangement
The original arrangement maintained at Galerie Schmela is preserved. The files are
divided chronologically into two groups: correspondence from the 1950s and 1960s and
from the 1970s until the 1990s. Each group is arranged alphabetically. Unidentified
clients are filed at the end of each letter sequence. Each group includes a few items
from an earlier or later date, as originally filed at the gallery.

Scope and Content Note
This series documents events taking place at the gallery's various locations in
Düsseldorf. It is comprised of several hundred vintage photographs taken at Galerie
Schmela exhibition openings, and other events such as art fairs and museum exhibitions.
Also present are installation shots and group photos of Alfred Schmela and his wife
Monika Schmela with artists, clients, and other individuals. A few photographs allow a
glimpse into the Schmela family's personal life, including a few of Alfred Schmela's
childhood and youth. Several photographs are of various artworks by Joseph Beuys. The
prints are predominantly black and white, although a few color photographs, color
transparencies, negatives, and slides are also present. Photographers' stamps can be
found on versos of most of the prints, frequently with notes explanatory of the event or
identifying individuals seen in the photographs. Among the photographers credited are
Walter Vogel, Charles Wilp, Ute Klophaus, Manfred Tischer, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Bernd
Becher, Robert Häuser, Liselotte Strelow, and Bernd Jansen. Two uncredited photographs
are by Jon Naar. The original numbers provided in the container list are numbers
assigned to the photographs by the gallery. Filed with this series is an illustrated
manuscript made on the occasion of an Hommage an Schmela event (box 34, folder 50).
Arrangement
Most files are arranged chronologically following the moves of the gallery to various
locations in Düsseldorf, i.e. Hunsrückenstrasse, Luegplatz, Mutter-Ey-Strasse, and the
sculpture park in Lohausen, and subsequently by date. Undated materials are found at the
end of each file. The last three files are topical.
