Raus ins Museum! Meisterwerke von Etel Adnan bis Andy Warhol
In the organizer's words:
New perspectives on art history: since summer 2024, K20 - the State Museum of North Rhine-Westphalia - has been showing its collection in an extensive new presentation. On display are more than 200 masterpieces of classical modernism and post-war art, including groundbreaking works by artists such as Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol, as well as new acquisitions by important modern artists such as Etel Adnan, Sonia Delaunay, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, Alice Neel, Marianne Werefkin and works by non-European artists such as Arpita Akhanda, Fouad Kamel, Mayo, Park Seo-Bo, Lygia Pape and Hassan El-Telmisani.
From 19.11.2024, the new collection presentation at K20 will be expanded by an additional 800 square meters of space. More than 30 monumental works from the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen from the years 1960 to 2000 will be on display in five newly designed rooms.
For the Director of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Prof. Dr. Susanne Gaensheimer, the new presentation marks a milestone for the museum: "I am delighted that we can now finally present our intensive work of recent years to visitors and send them on a journey through global art history. In this presentation of the collection, we are shedding light on a history in which important works by non-European artists are on display alongside well-known Western artistic icons. With its presentation of the collection, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen enables us all to find ourselves in the history of modernism from different contemporary perspectives and to engage with it."
Visitors can also look forward to new digital offerings relating to the collection: a comprehensive digital guide gives them the opportunity to put together their own tour of the collection, learn more about internationally renowned artists through audio talks or let DJ Wolfram's (DFA Records / Public Possession / Live from Earth) soundtrack "The Sound of the Collection", produced especially for the K20, take them on a journey through the collection. The new "Collection Online" will also be available from 6.7.2024. Almost 300 works can be rediscovered and explored via a digital gallery.
