KUNST UM 1800. Eine Ausstellung über Ausstellungen
In the organizer's words:
The show KUNST UM 1800 focuses on the legendary exhibition cycle of the same name at the Hamburger Kunsthalle: from 1974 to 1981, the exhibition series in nine parts was dedicated to the impact of works of art in the "Age of Revolutions" and shaped debates about the social relevance of art that continue to have an effect today. The exhibition series revised narratives of European art history by focusing on themes and artists who broke with the conventions of their time: Ossian, Caspar David Friedrich, Johann Heinrich Füssli, William Blake, Johan Tobias Sergel, William Turner, Philipp Otto Runge, John Flaxman and Francisco Goya. The exhibition KUNST UM 1800 will comment on and update the historical displays, which were created under the direction of the then director Werner Hofmann, from a contemporary perspective. Over 50 paintings, books and graphic works from the Kunsthalle's collection from around 1800 will be brought together with selected loans and works by contemporary artists.
