Munich Art Gallery “Art Nouveau. Made in Munich”
The new exhibition at the Kunsthalle München is open! ‘Art Nouveau. Made in Munich’ runs from 25 October 2024 to 23 March 2025.
Munich as the cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany
Around 1900, visionary artists in Munich set out to revolutionise art and reform life at the same time. At a time of rapid scientific and technical innovation and social upheaval, they were involved in the search for a fairer and more sustainable way of life. Artists such as Richard Riemerschmid, Hermann Obrist and Margarethe von Brauchitsch turned away from historical models to find a new art that would permeate life down to the smallest detail. Their ideas and designs formed the basis for the art and design of modernism.
The exhibition ‘Art Nouveau. Made in Munich”
With more than 400 objects from painting, graphic art, sculpture, photography, design and fashion, the exhibition sheds light on Munich’s role as the cradle of Art Nouveau in Germany and shows how topical the issues of life discussed at the time still are today.
The design of the exhibition by Bodo Sperlein provides a link to contemporary arts and crafts. Inspired by the art of Art Nouveau himself, the designer and artist presents the exhibited works in a modern way.
‘Art Nouveau. Made in Munich’ is a joint exhibition of the Kunsthalle München and the Münchner Stadtmuseum.
