Inside, a sequence of 36 bright, clearly structured collection rooms gives art plenty of room to work.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project was made possible by the commitment of the private MKM Foundation, founded by the collectors Sylvia and Ulrich Str\u00f6her. The collectors played a major role in the initial planning of the exhibition spaces. In the new building, the focus is on Art Informel and abstraction by German artists, complemented by some positions of European post-war art. The Str\u00f6her Collection presents a wide range of works by the following artists:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afro, Josef Albers, Jean Arp, Willi Baumeister, Peter Br\u00fcning, Alberto Burri, Rafael Canogar, Michael Croissant, Karl Fred Dahmen, Jean Dubuffet, Adolf Richard Fleischmann, Rupprecht Geiger, Karl Otto G\u00f6tz, Otto Herbert Hajek, Hans Hartung, Bernhard Heiliger, Gerhard Hoehme, Anselm Kiefer, Norbert Kricke, Andr\u00e9 Masson, Georges Mathieu, Brigitte und Martin Matschinsky-Denninghoff, Manolo Millares, Ernst Wilhelm Nay, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Otto Ritschl, Giuseppe Santomaso, Antonio Saura, Bernard Schultze, Emil Schumacher, Jaroslav Serpan, K.R.H. Sonderborg, Pierre Soulages, Antoni T\u00e0pies, Fred Thieler, Hann Trier, Hans Uhlmann, Emilio Vedova, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva, Fritz Winter und Wols.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The majority of the rooms in the MKM&#8217;s existing building have also been newly furnished, with a focus on works of later German post-war art by Georg Baselitz, J\u00fcrgen Brodwolf, Abraham David Christian, G\u00fcnther F\u00f6rg, Christoph M. Gais, Winfred Gaul, Gotthard Graubner, Ernst Hermanns, Anselm Kiefer, Imi Knoebel, Thomas Lehnerer, Markus L\u00fcpertz, A.R. Penck, Gerhard Richter, Reiner Ruthenbeck, Michael Schoenholtz, Heinrich Siepmann, Walter St\u00f6hrer and Rudolf Wachter.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/>The recurring rehanging of rooms and re-presentation of further works from the collection is part of the presentation concept. In temporary exhibitions on the first floor and in the large hall on the 3rd floor, collection items are presented in greater depth and international artists are introduced outside the collection.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><br\/><em>&#8220;<\/em><\/strong><em>The collection conveys an essential piece of post-war German art history,&#8221;<\/em> says MKM Director Walter Smerling.  <em>&#8220;The heart, if you will, are the informal and abstract painters, the &#8220;founding fathers&#8221; of German post-war art such as Willi Baumeister, K.O. G\u00f6tz or Emil Schumacher and their European colleagues Emilio Vedova, Maria Helena Vieira Da Silva or Wols. The successor generation that has dealt intensively with history &#8211; Anselm Kiefer, Georg Baselitz, Gerhard Richter and others &#8211; is also represented with central works. The collection is at the same time very personal, which is what gives it its character and vitality. One senses the enthusiasm for abstraction through the decades, as shown by works by Walter St\u00f6hrer, Christoph M. Gais or David Schnell. And the collectors&#8217; concern to present &#8220;their&#8221; artists with collections of works from different creative phases is a great fortune for the museum. In this way, German art history can be experienced, the generation of teachers and pupils can be compared, and the development of the work of individual artists can be traced. The extension building, the reopening with the first presentation of the collection on this scale is a great fortune for the art landscape of the Federal Republic of Germany.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Highlights from the Str\u00f6her Collection, one of the most important and extensive collections of German art after 1945, are on display at the MKM on a good 5,000 square metres.
