SKULPTURAL

In the organizer's words:

With "SKULPTURAL. The New Galleries", the Hamburger Kunsthalle presents 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, graphics, 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.
