SKULPTURAL

SKULPTURAL



With "SCULPTURAL. The New Galleries," the Hamburger Kunsthalle presents its sculpture collection for the first time in a comprehensive exhibition spanning media and eras: A 1,500 m² exhibition space unfolds, featuring over 500 sculptures, reliefs, paintings, prints, photographs, spatial and video installations from 2,500 years of art history in surprising juxtapositions – from antiquity to the present day, from two to three dimensions, from miniature to monumental. A special focus is placed on the newly discovered treasure of the collection: the miniature sculptures – "sculptures en miniature," as the first director, Alfred Lichtwark, called them: masterpieces of coin, medal, and relief art in gold, silver, and bronze. These new discoveries encounter masterpieces of all media, such as the larger-than-life sculptures of Auguste Rodin or Aristide Maillol, ancient portraits enter into dialogue with contemporary photography, reliefs by Käthe Kollwitz with body casts from the 1960s and video works by Marina Abramović, among others.
