Fritz Scholder's First European Solo Show Opens at MMK Frankfurt

The MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt is hosting the first European solo exhibition of Fritz Scholder (1937–2005), a Native American artist known for deconstructing stereotypes of Indigenous peoples through vivid colors and expressive painting. The show, titled 'Tower MMK Frankfurt: Fritz Scholder,' runs from [date not specified in source]. Scholder, of Luiseño heritage, gained fame in the 1970s for works like 'Massacre in America: Wounded Knee' (1972), which references the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre where US cavalry killed 300 Lakota. The exhibition presents a survey of his career, challenging romanticized depictions of Native Americans. MMK Frankfurt is the first institution outside North America to dedicate a solo show to Scholder.
