In the main exhibition ‘BLIND DATE - The Maximilian and Agathe Weishaupt Collection in dialogue with the Liaunig Collection’, curators Alexandra Schantl and Franziska Straubinger present geometric-constructivist art in its diverse, transnational and cross-generational forms.
In the exhibition, works from the Liaunig Collection meet works from the Munich collection of Maximilian and Agathe Weishaupt. The couple of the same name focussed their collection on art after 1945, and while they initially mainly collected concrete-constructivist positions, this view has broadened over the years, so that the collection now also includes a wide range of non-objective contemporary art from Germany and abroad.
The selection of works was based on the largest overlap between the two collections according to thematic aspects, which have always represented central issues of abstract art, namely colour, form, light, space and material and their multifaceted interactions.
