The 75th-anniversary of the Kunsthalle concludes with the exhibition “Affinities”, which brings together works from the Kunsthalle’s own collection, the former Vestisches Museum, and the Icon Museum, combined with nationally and internationally renowned guest artists. All works relate to the institution’s exhibition history, to curatorial ideas, or to displays spanning from the earliest years of the Kunsthalle to the present. They are presented as aesthetic kinships that transcend traditional questions of epochs and genres. These relationships shall be understood and presented as “Affinities”. As such the exhibition aims to offer a kaleidoscopic retrospective as well as a forward-looking perspective for the Kunsthalle and the art displayed within it.
