Daimler Cont. - Classical : Modern II
From march 7 to june 1 the Daimler Contemporay Berlin will present the second part of an exhibition about the classical modern.
The “Classical : Modern I” exhibition, 2006, largely presented concrete and constructive tendencies in the Daimler Collection from Classical Modernism up to the post-war art period, while the second part of the series intends to introduce the complementary areas of the collection.
The exhibition shows post-war tendencies, mainly from South Germany. Art history groups the names of the artists, about forty in all, from Ackermann to Zangs, under headings such as ‘Lyrical Abstraction’, ‘Informel’, ‘Tachism’, the ‘Stuttgart’ and Karlsruhe’ schools, ‘New Figuration’ ‘Zero’ and ‘Zen 49’. The show features about 80 works and is also presenting current work that can be related back to these earlier artists.
