Abstract art was never dead. Since its revolutionary beginnings at the dawn of the twentieth
century it has repeatedly flourished and survived all animosities even bans. And more than
that: Today in particular artists and museums are increasingly devoting themselves to this
theme in the world's most important art metropolises and in unprecedented diversity.Aspects of
contemporary abstract art coupled with historical reminiscences are the focus of the third
exhibition showcasing works from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the PalaisPopulaire. The
selection includes ca. 180 works from 1959 to 2021. In keeping with the collection as a whole
the works on view are globally oriented created by artists from 51 countries.Included are not
only drawings and photographs but also for the first time significant paintings and prints.
Including the latter medium in the show is particularly appropriate as silk screen with its
industrial anonymous color surfaces is the ideal technique for implementing constructive or
concrete pictorial ideas. Also in line with this theme is the work in series with geometric
variations changing perspectives and color schemes.ArtistsMarkus Amm Rana Begum Otto Boll
