16.04.2009, 7 p.m. - Lecture by Dr. Wolfgang Becker
“Photorealism 1970—First Steps into Europe”
In 1969, Wolfgang Becker was invited to Aachen to facilitate the founding of the Neue Galerie—Ludwig Collection. Together with Peter Ludwig, the chocolate manufacturer and art collector from Aachen, who had just loaned his Pop Art collection to the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, Becker prepared an exhibition of “Pop and Post-Pop”—the newest trend from New York: Photorealism. The lecture explores the origins of the movement and probes the question, how photorealistic paintings reflect new modes of perception.
