NIKI BACKSTAGE

In the organizer's words:

RESTORATION AT THE SPRENGEL MUSEUM HANNOVER

UNTIL 27.7.25

The exhibition provides an insight into the work of the conservators at the Sprengel Museum Hannover. Visitorslearn about the challenges of restoration: Which materials age particularly quickly? When is the deterioration of a work intentional, when does intervention have to be made? How do environmental influences affect art? The exhibition presents case studies from museum practice and shows how damage can be avoided through preventive conservation.

A particular focus is on the restoration of works by Niki de Saint Phalle. In preparation for the major fall exhibition "Niki. Kusama. Murakami. Love You For Infinity", which takes place from 6.9.25 to 14.2.26, visitors can experience live how the works are conserved and restored.

In addition, "Niki Backstage" provides an insight into the career and training of conservators - a scientific profession that combines theory and practice in equal measure.
