About

Artists such as Nan Goldin, Cy Twombly, On Kawara, Ellsworth Kelly, Denis Oppenheim, Richard Long, Louise Lawler, and others are examples of the good sense of the collector Yvon Lambert, who was able to combine the works from the 1960s in a unique collection that never before In Germany.Through his work, the then still young art styles Minimal Art, Land Art and Concept Art were known and established in Europe. 

The exhibition presents conceptual wordplays and sketches by Bruce Nauman alongside the reduced works of Carl Andre and Sol LeWitt. Jean-Michel Basquiat's paintings, reminiscent of graffiti, are based on works by Cy Twombly and Anselm Kiefer, and the unconventional material mix and figure style by Julian Schnabel. 

The exhibition is unmistakably a bridge to the many artists who have already participated in the sculpture projects of the past decades, including Carl Andre, Douglas Gordon, Jenny Holzer, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long and Bruce Nauman. The work "Pure Consciousness" by the Japanese artist On Kawara is a "satellite project", an official station of sculpture projects at the Picasso Museum's entrance foyer. The exhibition is unmistakably a bridge to the many artists who have already participated in the sculpture projects of the past decades, including Carl Andre, Douglas Gordon, Jenny Holzer, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long and Bruce Nauman. The work "Pure Consciousness" by the Japanese artist On Kawara is a "satellite project", an official station of sculpture projects at the Picasso Museum's entrance foyer. The exhibition is unmistakably a bridge to the many artists who have already participated in the sculpture projects of the past decades, including Carl Andre, Douglas Gordon, Jenny Holzer, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long and Bruce Nauman. The work "Pure Consciousness" by the Japanese artist On Kawara is a "satellite project", an official station of the sculpture projects at the Picasso Museum's entrance foyer.
