Description
For the first time, the exhibition “Five Friends” focuses on a circle of artists who had a decisive influence on post-war art in the fields of music, dance, painting, sculpture and drawing. John Cage (1912–1992), Merce Cunningham (1919–2009), Jasper Johns (*1930), Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) and Cy Twombly (1928–2011) created a special connection between the artistic genres and media through their intimate exchange. Museum Brandhorst thus sheds new light on Cy Twombly’s oeuvre, which forms a central focus of its collection; for the first time, his work can be viewed within the context of his artistic beginnings.
In our series: “An hour with...”, museum staff guide you through the current exhibition, answer your questions and invite you to engage in dialog. Today with Sandra Dichtl, assistant to the director. You are very welcome to join the conversation.
