For decades, the Korean-born master Lee Ufan has captivated the art world with his unique, minimalist aesthetics embodied in his diverse oeuvre that ranges from paintings to sculptures. In this exhibition, billed as the first comprehensive retrospective of the artist in Germany, will be 50 key works created over the past five decades. The exhibition will feature some of the artist’s most iconic works, including sculptures that juxtapose manmade objects and raw materials from nature, as well as his monochrome and abstract paintings that played an instrumental role in Korea’s Dansaekhwa movement.
As one of the youngest and most unpredictable art forms, glitch art specifically draws attention to the aesthetics of the flawed. Initially used as technical jargon among radio and television engineers in the 1950s, the term glitch (from the Yiddish gletshn, meaning to slip; to slide away) was soon introduced into the world of computer games to describe programming or graphic errors. On 1,200 square metres of exhibition space, international artists critically question the closeness to reality of the media, create new worlds or uncover normative orders and socio-political disparities and, last but not least, make the invisible visible.
The focus of the exhibition is the thematic Friedrich retrospective with over 60 paintings, including numerous iconic key works, and around 100 drawings as well as selected works by his artist friends. The central theme is the novel relationship between people and nature in Friedrich's landscape depictions. In the first third of the 19th century he provided significant impulses to make the landscape genre “art for a new time”.
Orhan Pamuk, one of the most important contemporary novelists and the first Turkish author to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, needs no special introduction as a writer. This exhibition kicks off the series and focuses on a perhaps lesser-known side of Pamuk's creativity - his work as a visual artist.
Surreal hybrid living things from the plant world and the animal kingdom seduce and fascinate: Beauty and transience, anatomy and sexuality fuse together in the unique pictorial cosmos created by German-Romanian artist Miron Schmückle (b. 1966).
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), “Spanish Dialogues: Picasso from the Berggruen Museum as a guest at the Bode Museum” highlights the important role that historical Spanish art has in its continuity as well as in its breaks in the artistic practice of probably the most important Spanish artist of the 20th century.
The performance artist, sculptor, stage designer, musician and poet FLATZ is one of the most extraordinary artistic personalities of today. A retrospective exhibition in the Pinakothek der Moderne focuses on the central theme of his work: the body.
Both loved and feared—the artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879) was one of France’s greatest draughtsmen. A keen observer and controversial contemporary critic, he made a name for himself in the political sphere in 19th-century Paris, primarily through his caricatures, which he produced for the illustrated periodicals “La Caricature” and “Le Charivari”. Daumier became the conscience of an epoch marked by radical social and political upheaval and profound change.
ALL EYES ON stages a work or group of works, an important artist personality or artistic position, guest appearances of individual loans, important restorations or new acquisitions in the middle of the gallery. The artistic and technical qualities of the paintings, content and meaning, their history of creation and impact, and their creators are examined in the context of the collection.
The studio-exhibition presents instruments like bagpipes, hurdy-gurdies and mechanical instruments, together with figures and decorated objects from exquisitly painted fans to gaming-pieces in relief.
Give Me Paradox or Give Me Death is an extensive solo exhibition by the influential American artist Roni Horn with over a hundred works ranging from the beginnings of her artistic practice to the present day. Roni Horn's work ranges from photography to drawing and artist books to sculpture and installation. Behind this openness lies the artist's understanding that everything in the world is changeable and cannot be subordinated to any fixed attribution.
Colorful flowers, magnificent vessels, valuable collector's items - the artists of the 17th century were able to capture the fragile beauty of the world around them with extreme precision and dedication. Shortly before, at the end of the 16th century, the still life emerged as a separate art genre and enjoyed growing popularity.
Three war casualties have returned to the Old Masters Picture Gallery after almost 80 years.
The central work of the exhibition is the cycle "Birkenau" (2014), consisting of four large-format, abstract paintings. It is the result of Richter's long and deep examination of the Holocaust and how it can be represented. The works are based on four photographs from the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, which the artist transferred to four canvases using charcoal and oil paint, and then gradually painted over them abstractly. With each layer of paint, the painted template disappeared a little more until finally it was no longer visible.
To this day, art history has been shaped by a male perspective that also defines the art-historical canon. The work and stories of women have long been ignored in Western museums. The invisibility of these aspects is still a common feature of almost all museums with collections of the so-called "Old Masters".The overarching aim of the exhibition is to expand the traditional museum discourse to include the perspectives, contributions and actions of women then and now.
