Exhibition
Claudia Schiffer offers a unique perspective on the decade that changed fashion forever, as the curator of ‘Fashion Photography from the 1990s’ at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf.
Supermodel and global fashion icon, Claudia Schiffer, takes Kunstpalast visitors on a personal journey through the fashion industry of the 1990s. In her first curated exhibition, Schiffer brings together legendary fashion photographers, designers, editors and supermodels, whose energy and vision, like her own, captivated and shaped the decade.
Approximately 150 exhibits draw upon a diverse panorama of the various aspects, characters, and places that were important in the fashion world of the time and the broader cultural sphere. Schiffer balances major photographic works, which continue to inspire and influence today’s artists and designers, with unseen and intimate material. Moving image, music and memorabilia from her private archive will reflect the dynamism and change of the era, allowing visitors to catch a glimpse behind the scenes of legendary fashion shows and afterparties.
The exhibition provides insights into a diverse world of images: the extravaganza of Arthur Elgort’s oeuvre is shown next to Corinne Day’s intimate and immediate style. Ellen von Unwerth’s sense of humour and exuberant play with sexiness, meet the sculptural and perfectly composed works by Herb Ritts. The provocative photos by Juergen Teller contrast with Karl Lagerfeld’s elegant and timeless images. Many more iconic photographers are featured in the show. Furthermore, the exhibition showcases the richness and variety of fashion media. From the billboard to the perfectly framed print, magazine pages or Polaroids, visitors will encounter images in every possible form.

Caspar David Friedrich and the Düsseldorf Romantics

Exhibition
During his lifetime, Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), the most eminent artist of German early Romanticism, had a lively relationship with various representatives of Düsseldorf landscape painting. It was marked by criticism and polemics but also by mutual recognition. From the 1820s onwards, Friedrich’s work lost popularity and was finally eclipsed by the up-and-coming Düsseldorf School of Painting
The exhibition comprising approximately 120 works illustrates the changes in taste occurring in the period between early Romanticism and the beginnings of the Realist movement. For the first time Saxonian landscape painting forms a dialogue with works of the Düsseldorf School of Painting. Around 30 paintings and 20 drawings by Friedrich, as well as works by his Dresden colleagues Carl Gustav Carus (1789-1869), Ludwig Richter (1803-1884) and Ernst Ferdinand Oehme (1797-1855) are juxtaposed with paintings by the Düsseldorf artists Andreas (1815-1910) and Oswald Achenbach (1827-1905), Carl Friedrich Lessing (1808-1880), Johann Wilhelm Schirmer (1807–1863) and others.
The first half of the 19th century saw a lively and multifaceted cultural exchange between the Rhineland region and Saxony. From 1826, Friedrich exhibited at a variety of German art academies, as did the director of the Düsseldorf Academy of Art, Wilhelm Schadow (1788-1862), and members of the early generation of the Düsseldorf School of Painting. According to Friedrich, contemplation of nature was meant to facilitate an exploration of the inner self; landscape paintings were not merely intended to depict nature, but to arouse emotions, as is symbolised by the Rückenfigur motif (figure seen from behind). From the late 1820s onwards, works by artists in both Düsseldorf and Saxony made reference to Friedrich’s paintings. However, paintings by Düsseldorf artists increasingly exhibited more dramatism and pathos, as well as being of a considerably larger format; they told stories and were convincingly refined technically. This style of painting gradually had an increasing influence, particularly on the Saxonian art scene, and thus, leading Düsseldorf painters were eventually awarded professorships at the Dresden Academy.
Presented in eight sections ranging from studio scenes to a variety of landscape themes, the exhibition explores the ways in which Dresden Romanticism came to be superseded by the Düsseldorf style of painting, as well as addressing the social developments underlying this change in taste. Alongside native landscapes, maritime paintings and moonlit nocturnes, the exhibition also illuminates the plein air study as a working method. Referring to issues such as ephemerality – a central theme in Romantic art – the exhibition illustrates the evolution of painting from the silent contemplation of Caspar David Friedrich to the social satire occurring in genre paintings by Düsseldorf artists. Further interesting contrasts are demonstrated by comparing Friedrich’s contemplative Rocky Reef on the Sea Shore to the stormy dramatism of Andreas Achenbach’s Storm at Sea off the Norwegian Coast. Important loans from the Alte Nationalgalerie, Berlin, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Folkwang Museum Essen, Musée du Louvre, Paris, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Städel Museum, Frankfurt, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, as well as a variety of other renowned public and private collections complement the extensive show.

Clouds, waves, wind and light – from 1820 onwards, painters captured the ephemerality of nature by means of the new technique of the oil study.
The most important artists of the Düsseldorf School of Painting, and also Caspar David Friedrich and Camille Corot used fast-drying paints to realise their experience of nature directly in situ.
For the first time in Germany, an exhibition is dedicated to the oil study as one of the most pivotal revolutions in form in 19th-century art. Showing a wealth of works from private and museum collections that have never been shown to the public, the exhibition illuminates artists’ appreciative gaze on nature in the Romantic period.
An unusual aspect is that the oil studies were used by the artists for private purposes only and were never exhibited. It wasn’t until two hundred years later that, owing to new viewing habits, they came to be appreciated as works of art in their own right – and, at that, often to an even greater extent than the finished studio paintings for which the painters were renowned.
Nevertheless, the oil studies were not only revolutionary in terms of form, but also as regards their content. They offered a fresh perspective on nature. All of a sudden, the incidental became worthy of depiction: the play of light and shadow, wayside trees, grasses swaying in the wind, bubbling brooks. With the studies, the artists created a stockpile of motifs from which they drew inspiration throughout their artistic career. And this is precisely the power they reveal to the viewer today.
The exhibition comprises around 170 works by 75 artists.
Curator of the exhibition is art historian and author Florian Illies, alongside co-curator Anna Christina Schütz, Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf.
The Museum Behnhaus Drägerhaus, Lübeck, will be presenting the exhibition from 12 July to 15 October 2023.

Exhibition
The exhibition traces the art historical development of Christo and Jeanne-Claude since the mid-1950s to this day and introduces the artists’ early work created in France in the context of works by a number of artist colleagues.
Alongside works by Christo the exhibition presents paintings and objects by Arman, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Dubuffet, Lucio Fontana, Yves Klein and others. This contextualisation within the diverse field of reference of the avant-garde in 1950s Paris illuminates the specific ways in which the work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude evolved and what characterises their artistic position.
The project is the last exhibition approved by Christo shortly before his death in May 2020. The starting point of the project is the substantial collection held by Ingrid and Thomas Jochheim, which represents one of the most extensive private compilations of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s art world-wide. It includes a wealth of objects and large-scale drawings, graphic works and photographs. The exhibition introduces each and every project realised by Christo and Jeanne-Claude since Wrapped Coast dating from 1968/69. The show also presents studies and drafts of the Mastaba project for Abu Dhabi, which has not been realised yet and which with its dimensions exceeding those of the Great Pyramid of Giza would become a veritable monument of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s creativity.
The Museum of Art and Cultural History Schloss Gottorf, Schleswig, will be presenting a modified version of the exhibition from 10 March to 3 September 2023.
Curator of the exhibition is Kay Heymer, Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf, alongside co-curator Sophie-Marie Sümmermann, Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf.

The exhibition Death and the Devil explores the artistic fascination with the gruesome.

The 120 works on display range from classical painting and sculpture to elaborate installations.

The presentation begins with a prologue that illustrates how the history of art and culture has been marked by death and macabre images.
This spans from the fantastical demons of the Renaissance admonishing sinful behaviour, to the landscapes of Romanticism steeped in ruin and shadows, to the suspenseful figures lurking in early 20th-century horror films. As part of a “cannibalistic” genre that continually re-enacts its own symbols, characters, and themes, these historical examples serve to contextualize contemporary interpretations of the gruesome and terrifying.
In the main body of the show, the exhibition brings together works from the last two decades. The diverse adaptations of horror’s tropes attest to its importance in fashion, music, film, and art.
Presented are works by artists as diverse as Rei Kawakubo, the Chapman Brothers, Billie Eilish, Lars von Trier, Berlinde de Bruyckere, Mary Sibande, Stefan Vogel and many others. Death metal and the blood-filled sneakers of MSCHF meet contributions from Andres Serrano and Eliza Douglas. With their approaches to generating fear, disgust or discomfort, these works formulate a canonized rule-breaking that transgresses societal barriers, gets under the skin and fires the imagination.
With a total of three stations, the exhibition will be on view in large parts of Germany. The show will start at the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf (September 2023 – January 2024), continue at the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt (1 March 2024 – 2 June 2024) and end at the Museum Georg Schäfer in Schweinfurt (14 July – 20 October 2024).
Curator: Westrey Page, Kunstpalast
The exhibition will be accompanied by an extensive catalogue and a comprehensive program of events that will make the fascination of the subject tangible outside the museum.
The exhibition is suitable for children from 12 years of age.

MEY & EDLICH CAPSULE COLLECTION ON THE EXHIBITION
The “Death and the Devil” collection by Mey & Edlich, which was especially created for the exhibition, is characterised by deep dark tones and comprises 13 pieces in total. It is a fusion between the familiar and the novel, giving rise to unprecedented nuances in between. Some of the designs make reference to selected exhibits – such as the hoodie with a print of the white death mask of a 19th-century girl, “Resusci Anne”, which is used today as a model for reanimation dolls. Also, there is a buttoned shirt with two sides. On the back it bears Dürer’s copper engraving dating from the 16th century: Knight, Death and Devil. It is the first time in German-speaking culture that fashion explores the subject of death in some depth.
The collection will soon be offered for purchase on the Mey & Edlich website. A number of pieces are also available on-site in our museum shop during the exhibition period.

Performance With Eliza douglas
Thursday, 14.9.2023, 8:30 PM
Ehrenhof
American artist Eliza Douglas will be presenting her first large-scale performance at the Kunstpalast on September 14th. Entitled EVERYTHING DIES, the work draws conceptually upon tropes of the horror and gothic genres as well as dark subcultures. Through minimalist, gestural movements and carefully-staged environments, Douglas examines both the subversive potential and simultaneous commodification of these elements. Having been a long-standing collaborator in Anne Imhof’s durational installations, Douglas’ work for Death and the Devil is conceived and directed by her own hand.
The performance will begin at 8:30 pm and is estimated to finish around 10 pm.

Whether lighter, leaf or lips, or heroin, heart or hands – as diverse as the motifs in Cornelius Völker’s (*1965) oeuvre are: the artist’s spirited and vividly coloured style of painting, often exploring familiar and everyday subjects shown in a new light, has always been characteristic of his work. Time and again, also objects generally deemed hardly worthy of painting find their way into Völker’s art.

When do you want to visit?
In this first institutional retrospective staged in his home city of Düsseldorf, the Kunstpalast is showing 85 oil paintings and 50 works on paper from all phases of the artist’s caree
Nine exhibition chapters guide viewers through Völker’s oeuvre.
Cornelius Völker (*1965) studied at the Academy of Art Düsseldorf from 1989 to 1995. He lives and works in Düsseldorf.
In 2005 he was appointed Professor of Painting at the Academy of Art Münster.
Völker has developed a powerful style of figurative painting in which realism and a complex handling of colour combine to form a distinctive pictorial language. His paintings make familiar objects appear in a new light, bringing surprising facets to the fore with outstanding precision and inventiveness.
The project is a collaboration between the Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf, and Museum MORE in Gorssel.

The prize is aimed at graduates from the Academy of Art Düsseldorf, who left the academy a number of years ago. Sabrina Fritsch will be showing a selection of her latest paintings. The artist works with a form of abstract painting that picks up on and consolidates different traditional strands of 20th-century avantgarde art, moving them forward to new solutions. Fritsch expands the field of painting and demonstrates that through the art of formal reduction and concentration, crucial innovations may arise.
