Seeing Words, Reading Images. Die Written Art Collection im Dialog mit der Sammlung Deutsche Bank
In the organizer's words:
The Written Art Collection is one of the most important private collections of contemporary written art. With around 400 works, it includes pieces from Europe, North America and East Asia as well as the Near and Middle East. The art-historical spectrum ranges from gestural-abstract painting in the West after 1945 to contemporary calligraphy and the diverse forms of expression of global conceptual and media art.
The exhibition Seeing Words, Reading Images brings positions from the Written Art Collection into a multifaceted dialog with selected works from the Deutsche Bank Collection, one of the most important corporate collections of contemporary art on paper. The starting point is the complex and highly topical phenomenon of writing and script in art - as line, informal gesture, handwriting and calligraphy, typography or typeface. The focus is on the significance of written art as a means of global communication and the limitless visual and textual possibilities of storytelling - be it poetry, political criticism or the reappraisal of history.
