In the organizer's words:

On Monday, March 9 from 7 pm, the opening of the exhibition"Über die Welt hinaus. The Blue Rider" takes place. The Lenbachhaus cordially invites you and your friends to attend.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a circle of artists with a vision formed in Munich. They had the common goal of renewing art and changing society.

The exhibition focuses on their pioneering achievements - from Franz Marc's symbolic color theory to Wassily Kandinsky's abstractions and Alexander Sacharoff's performative transgressions. Particular attention is paid to female artists who - unusually visibly for their time - played a central role in the movement. Alongside Gabriele Münter's expressive paintings are expressive self-portraits by Elisabeth Epstein, the dramatic paintings of the cosmopolitan Marianne von Werefkin and Maria Franck-Marc's enigmatic still lifes and utopian children's worlds.

With speeches by
Matthias Mühling, Director of the Lenbachhaus
Melanie Vietmeier, curator of the exhibition
