Expression & Geste

With its focus on the art of the late 19th and 20th centuries, the Lütze Collection is a testimony to the profound upheavals that characterised modern art.
Starting with Expressionist prints and drawings, the exhibition traces the artistic movements that paved the way for abstraction in Germany. Works of Art Informel also show how the developments led to gestural abstraction, which was characterised by the free, subjective and spontaneous nature of open forms.
The so-called Neo-Expressionists, Georg Baselitz and Markus Lüpertz, build a bridge and reveal how the “expressive” momentum of modernism continues to have an impact today.
