What art have I seen? Museums in Munich
‘5 Friends: John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Tombly’ at Brandhorst. Exploring various ideas that run through the different artists’ works – silence and nothingness – Rauschenberg ‘a White paintings, Johns’ White Numbers, Tombly’s, Cage’s 4’33”. Cage and Twombly’s Mushrooms. Duchamp an obvious presence.
Brilliant to see Cage’s collection of stones.
Pinakotek der Moderne had two really interesting exhibitions:
Trees, Time, Architecture: Design in Constant Transformation which explored experimental uses of trees in architecture and urban spaces. Really useful juxtaposition with all the artists’ projects. https://www.pinakothek-der-moderne.de/en/exhibitions/trees-time-architecture/
Yoshihiro Sunday: Garden Eden – beautiful selection from the collection juxtaposed with hand made weeds. https://www.pinakothek-der-moderne.de/en/exhibitions/garten-eden-naturutopien-japans/
What art have I seen? Schiele and Johns
The Courtauld has two fascinating exhibitions – Egon Schiele The Radical Nude and Jasper Johns Regrets. This analysis of the Johns exhibition from its showing at MoMA in New York is worth reading.
