Description:
OUTSTANDING! - THE RELIEF FROM RODIN TO TAUEBER-ARP
13 Oct 2023 - 25 Feb 2024 | Special exhibition
Exhibition poster | Dimensions: 59.5 x 84 cm
With around 130 exhibits by over 100 artists from Europe and the USA, the exhibition HERAUSRAGEND! looks at the little-known art form of relief and shows its multifaceted development from 1800 to the 1960s. As a mixture of spatial sculpture and two-dimensional painting, relief has always been a field for experimentation. Even today, its physical presence challenges our vision, especially in the age of virtual worlds. High-ranking loans from private and public collections in Aarau, Basel, Berlin, The Hague, Geneva, Copenhagen, London, Lyon, Paris or Rotterdam allow us to experience the impressive diversity and innovative power of the relief.
While classicist sculptors such as Bertel Thorvaldsen or Johann Gottfried Schadow still oriented themselves on works of antiquity, in the 19th century artists such as Auguste Rodin and Medardo Rosso broke the mould of sculpture. Painter-sculptors such as Edgar Degas, Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso or Henri Matisse questioned the handling of form and colour anew in relief. In the 20th century, Dadaists such as Kurt Schwitters or Hans Arp developed relief collages from everyday objects and materials such as wood, paper or plastics. Artists of the Russian avant-garde, the Bauhaus or Constructivist art - including Willi Baumeister, Oskar Schlemmer and Sophie Taeuber-Arp - also wanted to shape a new world and society with their works. Since the 1950s, artists such as Jan Schoonhoven, Piero Manzoni or Karl Hartung have explored the surface of the work as a structure, and women artists such as Louise Nevelson or Lee Bontecou have conquered their place in art history with expansive material objects.
In twelve thematic groups, the cross-media show OUTSTANDING! different epochs, styles and attitudes enter into a lively dialogue. The exhibition, conceived in collaboration with the Städel Museum, Frankfurt am Main, is given new accents in Hamburg not only because of some 40 additional works. Staged on the one hand in the atmospheric Hubertus Wald Forum, and on the other hand in the bright halls of the Sammlung Klassische Moderne, the medium of relief can unfold in its full breadth.
