Exhibition Documentation 1990—1999Here you will find the exhibitions of the 1990s. Following the renovation of the building, 1992 marked the establishment of the "Stiftung Haus der Kunst GmbH”, which was based on the model of public and private funding. Its first director, Christoph Vitali, was appointed in 1993; his opening exhibition, "Elan vital. Das Auge des Eros" [Elan vital. The Eye of Eros], was exemplary for a program that centered on Modernism while simultaneously considering selected positions of contemporary art. |
