AR'S CHOICE OF INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS FROM WWW.ARPLUS.COM
GERMANY
HANS ARP--FRITZ WINTER. DIALOGUE WITHOUT MEETING
Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich
14.2.08-12.5.08
The exhibition sets out to examine the impact of Arp by comparing and contrasting him with the art of Fritz Winter. In the early 1930s Winter (1905-1976) produced 'biomorphic' works on paper and canvas that have up till now received little attention within his oeuvre. These are juxtaposed with the collages and reliefs by Arp to illustrate the artistic affinity between the painters.
