K21 "Silent Revolution" - A new presentation of the museum’s permanent collection 27 Feb 2010 – 13 June 2010
The foundation of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen is an art collection of the highest conceivable quality. Preceding the reinstallation of the collection in July 2010 in an area measuring more than 10,000 m² is a singular presentation in the Ständehaus of K21, one that juxtaposes key works of classical modernism with central positions of contemporary art.
The galleries accommodate a series of highly divergent works, and the results range from the lively dialogue, to the “quarrelsome duet”, to the intimate conversation, but also include small talk, while some encounters may lead to subsequent rendezvous. Find out more
