Summary:
Abstract art was never dead. Since its revolutionary beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century, it has repeatedly flourished and survived all animosities, even bans. And more than that: today in particular, artists and museums are increasingly devoting themselves to this theme, in the worlds most important art metropolises and in unprecedented diversity. Aspects of contemporary abstract art, coupled with historical reminiscences, are the focus of the publication on the occasion of the third exhibition, showcasing works from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the PalaisPopulaire. The selection includes works from 1959 to 2021. Included are not only drawings and photographs but also, for the first time, significant paintings and prints.
