Günther Förg - A Fragile Beauty
21-10-2018 - 27-01-2019
Dallas Museum Of Art, Dallas, Texas
The exhibition ‘Günther Förg - A Fragile Beauty’ that took place at Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands (26-05-2018 - 14-10-2018) will travel to the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA (21-10-2018 - 27-01-2019).
‘Günther Förg - A Fragile Beauty’ surveys the prolific and provocative career of the late artist Günther Förg (1952-2013). Förg was closely associated with the Cologne scene of the 1980s, a group of irreverent artists who challenged the traditions of painting. This exhibition - the first major museum presentation of his work in the United States since 1989 - will bring renewed attention to Förg’s work by examining his legacy in relation to key issues of the 20th century, including postwar nostalgia and the utopianism of high modernism. Günther Förg: A Fragile Beauty is co-organized with the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
