(Bilingual edition: English / German)
CoBrA is one of the most important
artist groups of Art Informel. The name is derived from the first
letters of the three capital cities of Copenhagen, Brussels, and
Amsterdam -- the centers from which the CoBrA artists took action. Little
is still known here in Germany about the concrete origins of the art
movement. The exhibition and catalogue of the same name attempts a broad
examination of the group's origins: with the focus on the
reconstruction of the movement prior to its official establishment in
November 1948. It aims to present a representative cross-section of the
movement that includes the largest possible number of artists as well as
the greatest possible concentration of forms of expression and topics
characteristic of the movement. Roughly fifty paintings, thirty
sculptural works, fifty graphic reproductions and photographs as well as
individual ceramics and textiles from international collections are
presented.
First consideration of the origins of this art
movement, which was so central to the development of the art of the
twentieth century
CoBrA geht zu den wichtigsten
K?stlergruppen des Informel. Der Name leitet sich aus den
Anfangsbuchstaben der drei Hauptst臈te Kopenhagen, Br?sel und Amsterdam
ab - die Zentren, von denen aus die CoBrA-K?stler/-innen agierten.
ワber die konkreten Anf舅ge der Kunstbewegung gibt es hierzulande nur
wenig Kenntnis. Die Ausstellung und der gleichnamige Katalog versuchen
die Anf舅ge breit angelegt zu untersuchen: Im Fokus steht die
Rekonstruktion der Bewegung vor der offiziellen Gr?dung im November
1948. Abgebildet werden soll ein repr舖entativer Querschnitt der
Bewegung, der sowohl eine mlichst hohe Anzahl an K?stler/-innen als
auch eine mlichst hohe Dichte an f? die Bewegung charakteristischen
Ausdrucksformen und Themenkreisen umfasst. Pr舖entiert werden etwa 50
Gem舁de, 30 skulpturale Arbeiten, 50 Grafiken und Fotografien sowie
einzelne Keramiken und Textilien aus internationalen Sammlungen.
