Pinakotheken Museum Brandhorst Sammlung Schack Pinakothek Der Moderne ENGLISH PINAKOTHEKEN MUSEUM BRANDHORST SAMMLUNG SCHACK PINAKOTHEK DER MODERNE The Pinakothek der Moderne, with around 12,000 sqm of exhibi- tion space, provides visitors with an opportunity to experience Art, Works on Paper, Architecture and Design in a quality and abundance that is unrivalled not only in Germany, but throughout Europe. As one of the world’s biggest venues for art, architecture and design of the 20th and 21st centuries, with four independent museums under one roof, the airy and spacious museum, designed by Stephan Braunfels, opened its doors in 2002 and has since invited visitors to discover the parallels between the genres and to enjoy new and surprising insights. The Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen presents major works by international artists in the areas of painting, sculpture, photo- graphy and media art: from Expressionism, Neue Sachlichkeit and Surrealism through to the most important movements of European postwar art, as well as American art since the 1960s. Relevant and outstanding contemporary works supplement the Collection’s spectrum. The Collection, which is constantly grow- ing, contains meanwhile more than 5,400 works, approx. 400 of which can be seen in temporary presentations and special exhi- bitions. The goal is not an encyclopaedic collection claiming the greatest possible comprehensiveness, but rather emphasizes North facade and entrance of the Pinakothek der Moderne, photo: H. Koyupinar © Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen standard-setting artistic considerations in which decisive upheavals and new definitions of modern art are reflected. A particular characteristic of the presentation of art after 1945 is the principle of ‘artist rooms’, each of which is devoted to the artworks and installations of a single artist, such as Joseph Beuys, Georg Baselitz, Max Beckmann, Anselm Kiefer, Dan Flavin and Fred Sandback. This concept also takes account of the collection strategy, which strongly concentrates on individual positions and the formation of focal points. The State Graphics Collection (Staatliche Graphische Sammlung) focuses, in regularly changing exhibitions, on selections of draw- ings and prints from the 12th to the 21st centuries. With holdings of approx. 400,000 works on paper, it is one of the largest collec- tions of its kind worldwide. Particular highlights include early single-sheet woodcuts and copperplate engravings, Early German drawings and prints of Dürer’s time, Italian Renaissance draw- ings, and Dutch prints of the 16th and 17th centuries; also worth noting are the German drawings of the 19th century, as well as the continuously growing collection of drawings and prints from the classical modern period and by artists of the present day. – In the study hall in Katharina-von-Bora-Strasse visitors can view individual works by appointment. Pinakothek der Moderne, rotunda, photo: H. Koyupinar © Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen The Architecture Museum of the Technical University Munich (Architekturmuseum der TU München) presents temporary exhi- bitions relating to the history of architecture, as well as to current architectural positions and international developments. Owing to a continual flow of new acquisitions, the biggest architecture- specific special and research archive in Germany, with documents from the 16th century through to the current day, contains around 500,000 drawings, 150,000 photographs and 1,000 models. As it is in the unique position of being the only university institution in Germany with an archive and exhibitions spaces, the Architektur- museum combines the advantages of its collection with teaching and research activities. Die Neue Sammlung – The International Design Museum is the biggest design museum in the world, as well as being the oldest, having been founded in 1907. Historic depth and superlative quality characterize the approx. 80,000 objects that make up the holdings of this “State Museum for Applied Arts and Design”: from industrial and graphic design through to jewellery art, mobility, computer culture, as well as from important move- ments such as Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, Pop Art and Postmodern- ism. Furthermore, impulses from Japan, changes through glo- balization and crossovers between art and design are among the themes of the unique permanent exhibition that captures the development of design from the 19th century to the present day. The exhibitions are complemented by a multifaceted program which, through readings, artist talks, lectures, concerts and films, establishes interdisciplinary connections. The program is supplemented by various concert series, such as the Nacht- musik der Moderne, a cooperative venture with the Munich Chamber Orchestra in the Pinakothek der Moderne, which enjoys great success. The events program can be found at our website. In addition, all of the museums are available as a particularly festive venue for exclusive events for all of those interested in elegant premises outside the regular opening hours.

Located in close proximity to the Pinakothek museums, the Museum Brandhorst was opened in 2009 and supplements the Kunstareal Munich (art quarter) with its impressive collection of modern and contemporary art. The collection of the Museum Brandhorst encompasses more than 1,000 works by ground-breaking artists from the second half of the 20th century through to the present day, and is steadily expanded through acquisitions of current art. With over 170 works by Cy Twombly, the Museum Brandhorst is in the unique position to offer visitors an overview of the artistic development of this exceptional artist and is thus the most comprehensive collection outside of the USA, only comparable to the Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. The pioneering American champion of Pop Art, Andy Warhol, is also represented with a wealth of works from all creative phases, making it unique in all of Europe. Added to these are contemporary artists, whose work is featured in rotating temporary displays. Museum Brandhorst, photo: H.

This par- ticular location in the Kunstareal Munich is, since fall 2010, home to the sculpture “Large Red Sphere” by the American art- ist Walter De Maria (b. 1935), one of the pioneers of Land Art, Minimal Art and Concept Art. The work is permanently on dis- play for the public. The Munich work “Large Red Sphere” cur- rently represents the artist’s most recent artistic dialogue with the spherical form in a specific architectural setting. In close cooperation between the artist and Sauerbruch Hutton, the architects of the Museum Brandhorst, the Türkentor was reno- vated and redesigned for the presentation of the sculpture. Walter De Marias “Large Red Sphere” evokes an archetype. The sphere is a universal representation of the world, the celestial body and the cosmic, a symbol of eternal and cyclical renewal. Alone the granite sphere’s physical characteristics, reflected in its material, size (260 cm in diameter) and weight (25 t), suggest Türkentor, historical facade, photo: H. Koyupinar © Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen a powerful physical presence. A greater discrepancy between the perfect and high-gloss spherical shape and the spatial enclosure with its diverse elements, forms and materials, is hardly imagi- nable. To this effect, the sculpture, within the cubic space in which numerous traces of its past are preserved, suggests an aesthetic setting that embodies both a contemplative experience as well as an historic encounter.

    K E W E N I G Sean Scully “Four Days” 4 September to 7 November 2015 Opening on 4 September from 6 to 9 pm; the artist will be present. Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm “Four Days” is the first solo exhibition of the internationally acclaimed artist Sean Scully (b. in Dublin in 1945) at Kewenig in Berlin. New oil paintings by the Irish-American artist will be on view, as well as a selection of works on paper and one sculpture. Among the pieces executed especially for Berlin is the four-part painting Four Days after which the exhibition was named, Landline Blue, and an impressive triptych titled Arles-Abend-Vincent 2 – all works dating from 2015. Sean Scully is one of the most prominent contemporary exponents of abstract painting. He stands for an absolute, non-figurative style decisively distinguished by color. Pictorial compositions consisting of grid-like blocks or beam-like stripes are characteristic of his œuvre, as is the haptic quality resulting from the forceful brushstroke and impasto application of the paint and accounting for the works’ strong physical presence. Rather than simple canvas, the artist prefers to paint on higher-quality materials such as linen or aluminum, which lend the surfaces greater suppleness and heighten the radiance of the colors. Assembled from squares, rectangles and stripes, Scully’s motifs are based on basic geometric elements that are brought to life, however, by intense emotional impetus and the energy-charged painting manner. In their rectilinear structure and abstraction, his compositions thus exhibit not only conceptual stringency and order but also a high degree of emotionality.

Masterworks from Munich: Sixteenth- to Eighteenth- Century Paintings from the Alte Pinakothek is the first major showing in this country of works of art from the renowned Bavarian art museum. Masterworks from Munich highlights examples of all the major schools of baroque painting within the wider context of the style's 16th-century antecedents and 18th-century evolution into the rococo. Included in the exhibition are Rubens' The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus, Rembrandt's Risen Christ, Titian's Vanity, El Greco's The Disrobing of Christ, and Fragonard's Girl with a Dog as well as important works by Guardi, Tintoretto, Brueghel, Van Dyck, Ruisdael, Elsheimer, Murillo, Velazouez, Poussin, and Boucher. masterworks from Munich ... page two "An extraordinary loan has made this exhibition possible," said J. Carter Brown, director of the National Gallery. "The Alte Pinakothek has been extremely generous in offering works by old masters from its collection illustrating its wealth of northern and southern baroque painting. The quality level is superb. The American public is in for a rare treat." The collection was started by members of the ruling Wittelsbach family, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria (ruled 1508-1550) and his wife Jacobaea of Baden, and augmented by subsequent family members, including Maximilian I (ruled 1597-1651), a passionate collector of Durers, and Max Emanuel (ruled 1679-1726).

  • 10 Years Museum Brandhorst
    PROGRAM 10 Years OCT–DEC 2019 Museum Brandhorst Brand New? 10 Years Museum Brandhorst As a museum for contemporary art we aspire to constantly seek out fresh, current and relevant work, to know what is “brand new” – just as it says on Ed Ruscha’s famous triangular painting from 2016, which we are currently showing on the stair- way to the lower floor. Therefore the second issue of our magazine series on the anniversary exhibition “Forever Young – 10 Years Museum Brandhorst” is focused on the present. It is against the present that we continuously measure our work. It keeps us alert, opens our eyes, and as a result the collection changes constantly (p. 2). In the last ten years it has grown by around 500 works. These new acquisitions include, for example, paintings by Monika Baer, who explains in an interview (p. 34) how it was and still is to prevail in the male-dominated field of painting. To give an impression of the diversity of these recent additions to the collection, our exhibition also Jens Hartmann Photo: changes at regular intervals: From mid-September we are showing newly-acquired pieces by R.H. Quaytman (p. 16) and Michael Krebber (p. 18) in Achim Hochdörfer the “Spot On” rooms on the ground floor, and from Director Museum Brandhorst November we will present the recently acquired video installation “Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (20 Year Anniversary Remaster)” (1999–2019) by Mark Leckey (p. 20) in the media rooms on the lower floor. A legendary piece – twice as old as the museum – which invites us to celebrate a homage to the British club culture to this day.

  • “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. from Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’S Palace, the Current Hellenic Parliament”
    American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS)R) 2020 American Research Journal of Humanities & Social Science (ARJHSS) E-ISSN: 2378-702X Volume-03, Issue-01, pp 36-41 January-2020 www.arjhss.com Research Paper Open Access “The Semiotics of the Imagery of the Greek War of Independence. From Delacroix to the Frieze in Otto’s Palace, The Current Hellenic Parliament”. Markella-Elpida Tsichla University of Patras *Corresponding Author: Markella-Elpida Tsichla ABSTRACT:- The iconography of the Greek War of Independence is quite broad and it includes both real and imaginary themes. Artists who were inspired by this particular and extremely important historical event originated from a variety of countries, some were already well-known, such as Eugène Delacroix, others were executing official commissions from kings of Western countries, and most of them were driven by the spirit of romanticism. This paper shall not so much focus on matters of art criticism, but rather explore the manner in which facts have been represented in specific works of art, referring to political, religious and cultural issues, which are still relevant to this day. In particular, I shall comment on The Massacre at Chios by Eugène Delacroix, painted in 1824, the 39 Scenes from the Greek War of Independence by Peter von Hess, painted in 1835 and commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and the frieze in the Trophy Room (currently Eleftherios Venizelos Hall) in Otto’s palace in Athens, currently housing the Hellenic Parliament, themed around the Greek War of Independence and the subsequent events. This great work was designed by German sculptor Ludwig Michael Schantahaler in 1840 and “transferred” to the walls of the hall by a group of Greek and German artists.

Its elongated volume extends like a colorful sphinx along Türkenstrasse, its towering head greeting visitors who arrive from Schwabing and Maxvorstadt. The façade, with its 36,000 ce- ramic rods, inspired by the colors of nearby buildings, thereby enters into lively communication with its surroundings. When we walk around the building, every step opens up a new play of colors and perspectives, yet Sauerbruch Hutton’s architecture also radiates formal clarity and independence. In this respect, the paradox which affects every museum of contemporary art already becomes evident outwardly. For the role of the Museum Brandhorst has been formulated by Armin Zweite as a place where “historicizing the present”: here, the public is presented with current artistic achievements that are expected to appear relevant from a future retrospective position.1 The collecting of contemporary art, then, is not a passive, purely documentary activity, but instead inter- venes directly into cultural production.
