Robert Smithson in Europa
In the organizer's words:
From fall 2025, the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop will present one of the most important American artists of the 1960s and 1970s in detail in the local context of the Ruhr region. For the first time, the Bottrop exhibition brings together Robert Smithson's artistic production in the Netherlands, Italy, Great Britain and Germany, with a special focus on the Rhineland and the Ruhr region. "Robert Smithson in Europe" presents significant works from international museums and from the collection of the Holt/Smithson Foundation, such as "Mirror Displacement: Indoors", "Essen Soil and Mirrors", "Chalk-Mirror Displacement" (1969) and works in connection with "Broken Circle/Spiral Hill" (1971), Smithson's only Reclamation project realized in Europe (Emmen, NL).
The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Holt/Smithson Foundation (Santa Fe, NM).
The exhibition is supported by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media, the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the Kunststiftung NRW and the Egon Bremer Foundation.
