Event as part of the Art:walk Festival
The K20 on Grabbeplatz presents masterpieces of modern art in a powerful, spacious room. The permanent collection brings together art from Picasso to Richter and offers a concentrated overview of central positions of the 20th century.
The K20 is one of Germany's central centres for art. Striking in its architecture and spacious in its rooms, it offers the ideal setting for one of the most important collections of modern art history. Built up continuously since 1961, the collection brings together outstanding works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Piet Mondrian, Paul Klee, Gabriele Münter, Louise Bourgeois, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Sonia Delaunay, Joseph Beuys and Gerhard Richter. The works tell of ruptures, new beginnings and radical artistic decisions - and reveal how diverse and contradictory modernism can be. In addition to the permanent collection, the K20 regularly presents special exhibitions with important positions in modern art history, including artists such as Etel Adnan, Marc Chagall, Hilma af Klint and Wassily Kandinsky. In this way, the museum is always on the move and adds new contexts to historical perspectives. At the Art:walk Festival, the K20 becomes a place for concentrated encounters with great art - clear, impressive and open to individual approaches. (Source: Art:walk Festival)
