A last glance - Masterworks from the collection

Before K20 closes for just under a year and a half on 28th April 2008, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen’s most important masterpieces will be shown one more time.

Among these are Pablo Picasso’s monumental work "Deux femmes nues assises" from the artist’s classicist period, George Braque’s cubist still life "Nature morte, harpe et violon" and also Marc Chagall’s composition "Le violoniste". Wassily Kandinsky’s "Komposition IV" and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s "Mädchen unter Japanschirm" will be among the highlights of expressionist painting. Max Ernst’s work "Au premier mot limpide" and Joan Miró’s "nu au miroir" will serve as examples of surrealist art. Julius Bissier’s ands Paul Klee’s extraordinary collections also deserve particular mention.

Futhermore, the large installation by Joseph Beuys "Palazzo Regale" will be accessible. Works by Gehard Richter will also be on display. His cycle "Silikat" was only recently purchased by the Kunstsammlung. Jackson Pollock’s drip painting "Number 32" undoubtedly represents a milestone in abstract painting after 1945. This monumental piece will be accompanied by further outstanding works of pop and minimal art.
