Content of the tour
With “Five Friends”, Museum Brandhorst focuses for the first time 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, Merce Cunningham, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly created a special connection between the artistic genres and media through their intimate exchange. The exhibition provides an insight into the interplay between the five befriended artists and also shows what it meant to live as a queer artist in the 1950s.
Dive with our guided tour into the circle of artists and get inspired by their creative exchange.
