ENGLISH PINAKOTHEKEN MUSEUM BRANDHORST SAMMLUNG SCHACK PINAKOTHEK DER MODERNE

The Pinakothek der Moderne, with around 12,000 sqm of exhibition 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 growing, contains meanwhile more than 5,400 works, approx. 400 of which can be seen in temporary presentations and special exhibitions. The goal is not an encyclopaedic collection claiming the greatest possible comprehensiveness, but rather emphasizes

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 drawings and prints from the 12th to the 21st centuries. With holdings of approx. 400,000 works on paper, it is one of the largest collections 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 drawings, 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.

The Architecture Museum of the Technical University Munich (Architekturmuseum der TU München) presents temporary exhibitions 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 movements 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.

The distinctive building, designed by the Berlin-based architectural office Sauerbruch Hutton, immediately makes a striking impression owing to the 36,000 ceramic rods in 23 different col- our glazes that adorn its facade. 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.

The Türkentor - the only remaining fragment of the former Prince Arnulf barracks - marks a central position between the Pinakothek der Moderne and the Museum Brandhorst. This particular location in the Kunstareal Munich is, since fall 2010, home to the sculpture “Large Red Sphere” by the American artist 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.

With around 180 paintings by German artists, including well- known works by Arnold Böcklin, Moritz von Schwind, Franz von Lenbach, Hans von Marées and Anselm Feuerbach, the Sammlung Schack ranks as one of the most important museums devoted to German painting of the 19th century. The Collection was estab- lished through the efforts of the collector and art patron Count Adolf Friedrich von Schack (1815-1894), and has remained un changed in its formation since his death. Thus, it primarily contains history paintings and landscapes, but only a few examples (Carl Spitzweg) of genre painting, which was popular at the time. The landscape paintings visually capture the Mediterranean coun- tries: Italy, Greece and, not least, Spain, which the Count knew intimately - more than most of his contemporaries - from his extensive travels there.

In addition to works by German artists of the time, Count Schack collected copies of 16th and 17th century masterpieces, most notably by Venetian artists, ranging from Giorgione and Titian to Tintoretto and Veronese. The Sammlung Schack thereby represents not only an important documentation of art collecting in Germany, but is, at the same time, a unique museum of the late romantic period, providing visitors with insight into the attendant yearnings and dreams, as well as the world of images of this era that was shaped by journeys, literature, myths and ideals.

“Rediscover the 19th Century” is the motto of the Neue Pinakothek. A richly varied tour provides an opportunity to view paintings and sculptures of the Neoclassical, Romantic, Impressionist, Art Nouveau and Gründerzeit periods and to encounter masterpieces by major pioneers of Modern art: Max Liebermann, Edouard Manet, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne. Reg- ularly presented thematic exhibitions and accompanying events, such as concerts and readings in the Neue Pinakothek, expand and deepen this spectrum.

The original edifice of the Neue Pinakothek was built from 1846- 53 at the behest of Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, to house his collection of contemporary art of the time, which was intended to be the most important of its kind in Germany. Accessible to the general public from the outset, the Neue Pinakothek was thus the first museum in the world devoted to the permanent pre sentation of works by contemporary artists. After its complete destruction during the Second World War, the architect Alexander von Branca was entrusted with the design of the current building, which opened its doors in 1981.

The collection of the Alte Pinakothek, one of the most significant in the world, encompasses over 700 artworks from the 14th to the 18th centuries. Here, milestones of the European painting tradition join to form a survey, in unique concentration, that spans the development from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance and Baroque, through to the late Rococo period. Experience encounters with works by Dürer, Raphael, Leonardo, Titian, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, Boucher and their contemporaries . The museum, contracted by the Bavarian King Ludwig I, was built by Leo von Klenze between 1826 and 1836 in the Neoclassi- cal style, which at the time represented a new and pioneering effort in European museum architecture. Originally, the Alte Pinakothek was intended to make sufficient space available for the art collection of the House of Wittelsbach. Over and above this, King Ludwig I sought to use the construction of the Alte Pinakothek as a means of providing the general public access to his collection. In addition to the permanent presentation of outstanding works from the golden ages of German, Flemish, Dutch, French, Italian and Spanish painting, a host of temporary special exhibitions, guided tours and events make a visit worthwhile.

The Museum Brandhorst supplements in particular the collection focus of the Pinakothek der Moderne in the modern and contemporary art areas. Along with the Lenbachhaus museum, the Glyptothek and the State Antiques Collection at Königsplatz, and the Museum of Egyptian Art, the Kunstareal Munich (art quarter), located between the city centre and Schwabing, provides visitors with an opportunity to experience the entire spectrum of art spanning two thousand centuries. In addition, the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism, just opened in 2014, is a place of learning and commemoration. The Kunstareal is thus, with its 16 state and city collections and exhibition venues, its more than 40 galleries and numerous cultural institutions surrounding the Pinakothek museums and the Lenbachhaus museum, as well as a broad diversity of university- related facilities, a culture and knowledge district of supra- regional radiance in the heart of Munich.
