English edition This catalogue provides a spectacular overview of painting on the theme of
football in European artistic modernism. Here painting gets to the bottom of football's
mystique. And vice versa since football with its aesthetics dynamics rites and
contradictions inspires artists and reveals innovative surprising perspectives and artistic
possibilities. This culminates in impressive interplay between the two worlds. Accessing 20 th
-century European art through football and deciphering the fascinating as well as contradictory
game of football as a European phenomenon through the perspective of modernist painting
uncovers new knowledge in both fields. More than 100 works of art from national and
international collections are examined. The catalogue is designed along the same conceptual
lines as the European Championship itself: each nation participating in the EURO 2024 is
represented by at least one artist so underlining the fundamental concept of a diverse but
united Europe. A new standard work and a cultural contribution to the 2024 European Football
Championship in Germany Exhibition: Deutsches Fußballmuseum Dortmund May 27 2024 to
