Andreas Schulze's 500-Piece Spritzdekor Ceramics Collection Featured in T Magazine

Andreas Schulze, a 71-year-old artist from Germany, has amassed approximately 500 pieces of spritzdekor ceramics, a style that flourished in Germany from the mid-1920s until the mid-1930s, when it was deemed "degenerate art" by the Nazi regime. These ceramics showcase airbrushed geometric designs influenced by Bauhaus and Suprematism. Since 1972, Schulze has scoured flea markets every Sunday, making his first acquisition around 30 years ago, with prices ranging from 10 to 50 euros. His collection features plates, vases, and egg cups, including a particularly "ugly" cake plate. Additionally, he collects Venetian glass and Memphis design furniture from the 1980s. Some of his ceramics were showcased in a recent exhibition at Sprüth Magers in New York.
