Highlights from three collections in Augsburg
The exhibition invites visitors to experience the transformative powers of light, colour and space in artistic compositions. Works from the city's collection of modern and contemporary art are on display, supplemented by important loans from the neighbouring Kunstmuseum Walter and the collection of the Stadtsparkasse Augsburg. The exhibition brings together works by renowned artists, including Günther Förg, Rupprecht Geiger, Jörg Immendorff, Per Kirkeby, Herlinde Koelbl, Carsten Nicolai, Otto Piene, Arnulf Rainer, Norbert Tadeusz, Else Bechteler, Georg Bernhard, Norbert Kiening, Petra Lemmerz, Max Kaminski, Kerstin Skringer and many more.
The carefully curated exhibition focuses on the interplay of fleeting light effects, intense colour surfaces and spatial illusions. Dynamic gestures, subtle nuances and multi-layered compositions create a unique atmosphere that illuminates the ‘H2’ exhibition space in the Glaspalast industrial monument. The natural light, which flows into the staging through the characteristic architecture of the historic rooms and intensifies the exhibition experience, is particularly impressive. The exhibition thus invites visitors to experience the space in a completely new way, both visually and emotionally, and shows how light, colour and space merge into an atmospheric unity in art.
