Bernard Schultze (1915-2005) is one of the most important representatives of the German post-war avant-garde. As an innovator, source of inspiration and one of the fathers of German Art Informel, he occupies an undisputed place in the history of modern art. For the first time in 18 years, the MKM is showing a major Bernard Schultze retrospective in North Rhine-Westphalia with around 70 paintings, drawings, “Migof” objects and two environments from almost 60 years of intensive artistic work.
The exhibition, curated by Eva Müller-Remmert, presents key works from many museums and private collections as well as a selection of central works by the artist from the Ströher Collection, which is housed in the MKM. The result is an exhibition full of surprises and new insights into the work of Bernard Schultze, “whose artistic life was characterized by apparently inexhaustible artistic resources – a source that did not stop bubbling vividly until his last day of work. The artist’s works transform the rooms of the MKM in a special way into a kind of Schultze’s energy field,” says MKM Director Walter Smerling.
