Following the anniversary exhibition “25 Years Falckenberg Collection” (2019), which was dedicated to installations and objects from the Falckenberg Collection, the focus will shift to painting in 2025. In the exhibition HOW'S MY PAINTING?, the medium will be presented comprehensively for the first time with 200 works by over 70 artists from the Falckenberg Collection.
Starting with Werner Büttner, Albert Oehlen and Martin Kippenberger, who stirred up the established art scene of the 1980s with their punk-inspired attitude and, together with their American colleagues of the same age Raymond Pettibon and Mike Kelley, represent the concept of counter culture that has shaped the Falckenberg Collection, the exhibition spans an arc to all varieties of the medium, from panel painting to its installative, deconstructive and conceptual manifestations.
Many of the artists represented in this exhibition were collected by Harald Falckenberg early on, long before they achieved international fame. As a tribute to Harald Falckenberg's legacy, HOW'S MY PAINTING? highlights the collector's foresighted vision and illustrates his lasting influence on the art world.
