NORDLICHTER: DIETRICH HELMS, ARNOLD LEISSLER, SIEGFRIED NEUENHAUSEN, KAI SUDECK

In the organizer's words:

DONATIONS FOR THE GRAPHIC ARTS COLLECTION

The exhibition. "Nordlichter" brings together works by the four artists Dietrich Helms, Arnold Leissler, Siegfried Neuenhausen and Kai Sudeck. They all come from northern Germany and - born in the 1930s - belong to the same generation. The works of the four "Northern Lights", which enrich the Sprengel Museum Hannover's Graphic Art Collection as donations and bequests, cover a broad spectrum of stylistic and technical expression. The exhibition brings together representational drawings and abstract collages, color lithographs and chalk drawings, works that borrow from Art Informel and those that touch on the experimental. The exhibition dedicates a separate room to each artist. With a total of 102 works on paper created between 1950 and the present day, "Nordlichter" presents a quarter of the collections donated to the Sprengel Museum Hannover by Helms, Leissler, Neuenhausen and Sudeck.
