BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE SPRENGEL MUSEUM HANNOVER AND ITS ART
To mark its 40th anniversary, the Sprengel Museum Hannover is presenting the exhibition ELEMENTARY PARTS in the extension building. What are the core components of the institution? What is art, and what does art consist of, what does it refer to and what is it about? In ten themed rooms, the Sprengel Museum Hannover questions itself as an institution and its collection about such fundamental questions.
What role does color play as one of the basic building blocks of art, what materials do artists use, and what principles of form and design do they apply? To which reality(ies) do works between conceptual art, abstraction and figuration refer? What content plays a role, what stories are told, how is history reflected in art? ELEMENTARTEILE brings together more than 150 works from the 20th century and contemporary art and shows an impressively broad spectrum of expressive possibilities in painting, sculpture, graphics, photography and film by artists such as Max Beckmann, Louise Bourgeois, Grethe Jürgens, Niki de Saint Phalle, Pablo Picasso and Gerhard Richter.
