He created a multifaceted, experimental oeuvre on the threshold between painting and object.  His early pictures are tachistically lyrical, and from 1957 he began to abandon the conventional picture format and to experiment with various plastic-painterly manifestations of color. From 1965 onwards, he created spatial objects and installations with strings and tubes made of plastic, based on written and structural images. The cord leading out of the picture becomes an essential means of expression. Hoehme saw his works as energy fields that create direct connections between space and the viewer. His poetic, associative picture titles enhance the complexity of his works and refer to the intensive exchange with literature and music.<br\/><br\/>Gerhard Hoehme dealt with history, politics and myth. He was an <em>artiste engag\u00e9<\/em> whose influence extended far beyond the purely formal aspects of his work. As a professor at the Kunstakademie D\u00fcsseldorf, he influenced younger artists such as Sigmar Polke and Chris Reinecke. Works by international artists such as Eva Hesse, Cy Twombly and Piero Dorazio testify to his charisma.   <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p>The exhibition and catalog present all of the artist&#8217;s canvases and works on paper in the Str\u00f6her Collection and the artist&#8217;s estate entrusted to the MKM Foundation. Six works from the Gerhard and Margarete Hoehme Foundation complement the presentation, which illustrates Hoehme&#8217;s overall work development. The earliest painting in the show dates from 1951, the latest was created in 1988, one year before his death. The richly illustrated catalog provides detailed historical and bibliographical documentation of all the works of art.   <br\/><\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 26 to May 31, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":31327,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"ausstellungen-status":[133],"austellungskategorien":[194],"class_list":["post-31326","ausstellung","type-ausstellung","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ausstellungen-status-current","austellungskategorien-194"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gerhard Hoehme - don&#039;t unravel the places - MKM MUSEUM K\u00dcPPERSM\u00dcHLE<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\/en\/ausstellung\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gerhard Hoehme - don&#039;t unravel the places - MKM MUSEUM K\u00dcPPERSM\u00dcHLE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"February 26 to May 31, 2026\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\/en\/ausstellung\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"MKM MUSEUM K\u00dcPPERSM\u00dcHLE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-02-26T11:52:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/00473-klein_das_wilde_blaueBild_1956_OlafBergmannWitten.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"538\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"768\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/\",\"name\":\"Gerhard Hoehme - don't unravel the places - MKM MUSEUM K\u00dcPPERSM\u00dcHLE\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/00473-klein_das_wilde_blaueBild_1956_OlafBergmannWitten.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-01-08T08:53:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-02-26T11:52:37+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/00473-klein_das_wilde_blaueBild_1956_OlafBergmannWitten.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/00473-klein_das_wilde_blaueBild_1956_OlafBergmannWitten.jpg\",\"width\":538,\"height\":768,\"caption\":\"Gerhard Hoehme das wilde blaue Bild, 1956-57 \u00d6l auf Leinwand 170 x 120 cm MKM Museum K\u00fcppersm\u00fchle f\u00fcr Moderne Kunst, Duisburg, Sammlung Str\u00f6her Foto: Olaf Bergmann, Witten \u00a9VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2026\"},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/ausstellung\\\/gerhard-hoehme-dont-unravel-the-places\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/museum-kueppersmuehle.de\\\/en\\\/homepage\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Gerhard Hoehme &#8211;
