- A very significant run of the most important of all German modernist periodicals. Among the special features in these issues are early publications of Futurist manifesti, and “Für Kandinsky: Ein Protest,” signed by a dazzling list of supporters. Complete sets are of utmost rarity, even in institutional hands. Under the visionary leadership of Herwarth Walden, Der Sturm exerted an extraordinary influence on the development of modern art in Germany, and for that matter, in all of Europe. Indeed, as Paul Raabe has noted, it was, in its heyday, the single most influential and significant art review of the European avant-garde. It was through Der Sturm that Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and critical phases of Expressionism, as it is understood today, were introduced to the German public, and through it that the rest of Europe heard of Berlin.
