Sprengel Museum Hannover
BIG! Grossformate aus dem Sprengel Museum Hannover 29.06.-12.09.2021
The exhibition is intended not as a systematic thematic exhibition on the nature of the large format, but as a selection of prime large-format works. The focus of the selection is, firstly, on a preference for works that have rarely or never been shown, and secondly, on exploring meaningful contexts and juxtapositions. In passing, the exhibition affords insights into major painting movements in modern and contemporary art, with the spectrum ranging from geometric abstraction and colour field painting to gestural-expressive approaches, pop art and photo-realism to conceptual positions that take the discourse on painting into new media and techniques.
