Drawing Rooms II: Trends in Contemporary Graphic Art
During the 60s, the limitations of drawings were radically expanded. Minimal and conceptual artists like Sol LeWitt or Fred Sandback transferred the line from the two-dimensional surface into space. The drawing entered the third dimension. Time, space, body, language and memory, observation and action become the decisive factors in works by Franz Erhard Walther. And that 鈥渂reakthrough into space鈥� is the focus of this exhibition.
After the first part of the exhibition in which the development of drawings since the 50s was the central theme, the focus of the second part has been placed on contemporary positions that deal with the expansion of drawings into real, imagined or virtual space. There will be works on display by a total of 30 artists from the Kunsthalle鈥檚 collection of the Department of Prints and Drawings as well as works on loan from private collections which offer an extensive in-depth look at the diversity of contemporary drawing rooms.
