Brücke und Blauer Reiter
Ernst-Ludwig Kirchner, Frauen auf der Straße, 1914, Von der Heydt-Museum Wuppertal
21. November 2021 – 27. Februar 2022

Die Künstlergruppen Brücke und Blauer Reiter stehen synonym für den Expressionismus in Deutschland und gelten zugleich als entscheidender Beitrag zur Klassischen Moderne in den Jahren 1905 bis 1914 in Deutschland. Die umfassende Ausstellung soll anhand ausgewählter Hauptwerke einen frischen Blick auf die Bedeutung und das Zusammenwirken dieser beiden Formationen ermöglichen. Sie geht hervor aus einer engen Zusammenarbeit des Von der Heydt-Museums Wuppertal mit dem Buchheim Museum der Phantasie, Bernried am Starnberger See, und den Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz.

Die drei beteiligten Museen stützen sich im Wesentlichen auf die reichen eigenen Sammlungsbestände, die erstmals zusammengeführt werden – ein nachhaltiger Ansatz, der überdies neue und überraschende kuratorische Perspektiven eröffnet. Ergänzend hinzu kommen ausgewählte Werke von nationalen und internationalen Leihgebern, die es ermöglichen, das künstlerische Spektrum angemessen abzubilden.
