SKULPTURAL. Die neuen Galerien

In the organizer's words:

With SKULPTURAL. The New Galleries, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting its sculpture collection comprehensively for the first time in a show that spans different media and eras: On 1,500 m², a course of over 500 sculptures, reliefs, paintings, prints, photographs, spatial and video installations from 2,500 years of art history unfolds in surprising juxtapositions - from antiquity to the present, from the second to the third dimension, from miniature to monumental. A special focus is placed on the newly discovered treasure of the collection: the miniature sculptures - "sculptures en miniature", as the first director Alfred Lichtwark called them, top works of coin, medal and relief art made of gold, silver and bronze. These new discoveries encounter masterpieces in all media, such as the larger-than-life sculptures by Auguste Rodin or Aristide Maillol, antique portraits enter into a dialog with contemporary photography, reliefs by Käthe Kollwitz with body casts from the 1960s and video works by Marina Abramović, among others.
