WALL WORKS

“Wall Works” focuses on the artistic exploration of the wall as a fundamental artistic element since the 1960s. A selection of 46 wall pieces from Edition Schellmann purchased by the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, works from the museum’s own collections and works that were produced specially for the exhibition of the same name are presented in this exhibition. The interaction between the works creates an overview of the variety of artistic approaches to the wall in Minimal and Conceptual Art, Arte Povera and in postmodern and contemporary art.
The exhibition and purchase are documented and explained in essays, ample illustrations and artists’ texts.
