iT’S ALL ART?!

From Aldi to Rubens

from 20 June 2024

Following extensive reconstruction, renovation and modernisation work, the collection wing of the Kunstpalast has been presented in a completely new light since November 2023. However, the new presentation is not a permanent exhibition: shortly after the reopening, around 150 exhibits have already been returned to the depot, while other exhibits have been brought out and taken their place in the tour.

From around 130,000 objects owned by the Kunstpalast, the display collection shows around 800 works in a chronological tour of over 5,000 square metres.

Famous paintings, such as Rubens’ Ascension or Cranach’s Unequal Couple, meet exhibits that make many a visitor wonder: Birkenstock sandals and an Aldi bag, for example. Is that art? Of course it is!

Whether miniature or monumental work, everyday object or piece of jewellery, sculpture or porcelain, drawing or interactive VR installation – this collection unites all genres. Thanks to regular new additions and rearrangements as well as temporary interventions and special presentations such as Kunstpalast in Bloom, the permanent collection, which now runs under the title It’s all Art?!, is always on the move and there is always something new to discover on the tour.

The broad concept of art in our collection It’s all Art?! From Aldi to Rubens allows surprising changes of perspective. The presentation examines the relevance of historical and contemporary art, establishes connections to current themes and demonstrates the similarities between what at first glance appear to be very different works that were created at the same time – free from stylistic categorisations and regardless of their origin.
