IM HERZEN WILD - Brücke, Bauhaus, Blauer Reiter

In the organizer's words:

With the major collection presentation IM HERZEN WILD, the museum's treasures return to the public in new, exciting constellations. For the first time, the works of classical modernism from the Municipal Collection will enter into a direct dialog with the works of the Ziegler Collection in the exhibition Brücke - Bauhaus - Blauer Reiter in order to illuminate art at the beginning of the 20th century in various motivic facets.

The focus is on the artists from the Brücke, Bauhaus and Blauer Reiter movements, who were influential in the development of modern painting in Germany. In a journey through the first five decades of the 20th century, the dynamics with which the movements of the time responded to each other are presented and the simultaneity of the different is made visible through the thematic hanging - animals, flowers, portraits, children, landscapes, figures. With 150 paintings, watercolors and prints, the exhibition sheds light on the museum's unique artistic selling point and shows once again how fascinating modernism, which has become a classic, is for contemporary viewers.
