Adolf Luther. Sehen ist schön

In the organizer's words:

In the years of his artistic career from 1942 to 1990, Adolf Luther received many descriptions such as "master" or "magician of light". Always in search of light as an artistic medium, he developed a unique formal language. The exhibition Adolf Luther - Seeing is Beautiful is dedicated to the multifaceted development of the Krefeld-born artist and focuses on works from the Adolf Luther Foundation. It sheds light on Luther's detachment from classical painting to object art and his expansion into space. His works made of mirrors and glass transform the viewer into an active co-creator and in this way also expand the way we see things today. The exhibition pays tribute to Adolf Luther as an important representative of Op Art and Kinetic Art of the post-war period, but also shows the network he created with his own collection of important works of art. Despite his international recognition, the artist remained connected to his hometown of Krefeld and made a significant contribution to the cultural landscape of the region with the establishment of his foundation - a legacy that can be impressively experienced in the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum.
