70 Years of Abstract Painting - Excerpts

The installation will present a wide range of abstract paintings, each of which reflects a distinct style and unique aesthetic. Various movements, including Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, Op Art, and Neo-Pattern & Decoration for example, will be addressed. Providing excerpts from seven decades worth of work, the exhibition aims to initiate an unusual dialogue between historic and contemporary paintings, as well as between the inherent modern and post-modern concerns.

It is our ambition to stress the timelessness of the abstract language in painting and to create a platform, which allows older works to appear in a new light and contemporary compositions to be viewed in the context of their influences.

Since its founding in 1982, the gallery has focused on furthering the understanding of abstract painting from a contemporary point of view. While in part marking an overview of our program to date, 70 Years of Abstract Painting - Excerpts also reflects the many sources of inspiration the gallery draws from. We would like to thank the many artists, private collectors and colleagues from other galleries, who are supporting this exhibition through generous loans.
