New Presentation of the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection
The, MUSEUM RITTER will be presenting for the second time since it opened its doors a new look at the Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection.
For this a selection of some 60 works has been made from works that have not previously been shown.
Once again there are many great discoveries to made in the realms of geometrical art: the spectrum ranges from constructivist paintings and works on paper done directly in the tradition of the Bauhaus from the 1940s onwards, to the rational-systematic tendencies of the Zurich Concretists and their artistic legacy, to fringe positions in Concrete Art, as well as to refreshingly non-dogmatic approaches that owe more to the powers of intuition.
Alongside precise geometrical works derived from a clear grammar of forms, and artists such as Max Bill, Bob Bonies, Andreas Brandt, Geneviève Claisse, Dany Paal and Carlo Vivarelli, this new presentation features in particular a number of different approaches by painters. The luminous compositions of a painter such as Johannes Itten, or the landscape abstractions of Antonio Calderara done in fine pastel shades, are as much a part of this as the extremely chromatic compositions of artists such as Bernard Aubertin, Piero Dorazio and Rupprecht Geiger. No less sensual is Günter Umberg’s black, velvety painting, which literally conveys the feeling one is being engulfed in its fathomless depths, or the mysterious paintings of Günter Scharein.
The shape of the square also opens up new, surprising, unconventional and playful possibilities not only in the familiar ream of painting, but above all in today’s cutting edge production - as evinced by works by among others Dieter Balzer, Alexandre da Cunha and Tina Haase.
