Paris 1955 - Deutsche Abstrakte im Zentrum der Moderne | April 13 - August 3, 2025
The exhibition "Peintures et sculptures non figuratives en Allemagne d’aujourd’hui" shown in 1955 at the Cercle Volney in Paris was a true novelty and had already been the subject of controversial debate among contemporaries in Germany. Today, it is considered legendary in German art history. Seventy years after this historic event, the Paris exhibition will be reconstructed for the first time in a museum presentation and comprehensively honored. The exhibition rediscovers important artistic positions from the 1950s that have been almost unjustly forgotten today.
The remarkable show with 98 works by 37 abstract artists brought together the most important artistic positions of their time at the Cercle Volney near the Paris Opera in 1955, just ten years after the end of National Socialism.
