This year’s exhibition conceived by Deutsche Bank is devoted to the complex oeuvre of the Düsseldorf artist Imi Knoebel. Knoebel’s works have been continually pursued for the Deutsche Bank Collection for 25 years now. The work of the former student of Joseph Beuys, with its pioneering exploration of form and color (also in the context of the young generation’s return to the abstract art of the 1960s and 70s), is today more momentous than ever. The exhibition is divided into two “acts.” The first part presents new works by the artist executed between 2005 and 2009. Under the title ICH NICHT (NOT ME), they give a concise answer to Barnett Newman’s question Who’s Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue? ENDUROS, the second part of the show, constitutes a retrospective of Knoebel’s work from 1968 to 2005, covering the entire spectrum of the artist’s abstract formal vocabulary. Around 200 collages, drawings, photographs, and prints from the Deutsche Bank Collection provide a comprehensive overview of the artist’s oeuvre. At the same time, they pay tribute the medium of paper – the focus of the corporate collection.
The exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin is being mounted in close collaboration with the artist and in cooperation with the Neue Nationalgalerie, where Imi’s Knoebel installation Zu Hilfe, zu Hilfe… is opening at the same time.
During the same time period, the exhibition Imi Knoebel: Zu Hilfe, zu Hilfe... will be shown at the Neue Nationalgalerie, 23.5.–9.8.2009.
Combi-tickets: € 5 / reduced € 4.
