Under the name MÜLHEIMER FREIHEIT Hans Peter Adamski Peter Bömmels Walter Dahn Jirí Georg
Dokoupil Gerard Kever and Gerhard Naschberger exhibited together for the first time in
November 1980 at the Paul Maenz Gallery in Cologne and soon thereafter internationally. The way
they purposefully questioned the pseudo-individual creative artist ego in an unpathetic and
humorous way ensures them a special status in the Hunger nach Bildern [hunger for images] to
this day. Clearly more and different than just Wilde Malerei [wild painting] in their approach.
MÜHLHEIMER FREIHEIT was an announcement that was to shape the art scene in Europe for an entire
decade. The book with many illustrations of works offers for the first time an overview of
the group's history made vivid by numerous previously unpublished photographs by Benjamin
Katz. Text: Axel Heil Sophie Hirschmüller Toby Kamps Paul Maenz. Artists: Hans Peter Adamski
