Ways of Seeing Abstraction: Works from the Deutsche Bank Collection

A comprehensive insight into the holdings of abstract art of the Deutsche Bank Collection Text in English and German Abstract art was never dead. Since its revolutionary beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century, it has repeatedly flourished and survived all animosities, even bans. And more than that: today in particular, artists and museums are increasingly devoting themselves to this theme, in the world’s most important art metropolises and in unprecedented diversity. Aspects of contemporary abstract art, coupled with historical reminiscences, are the focus of the publication on the occasion of the third exhibition, showcasing works from the Deutsche Bank Collection at the PalaisPopulaire.
