Past exhibitions
Gustav Metzger
Exhibition 21.05.10 – 31.03.11
"Strampelde Bäumf/Mirrortrees" shows trees that have been torn from the earth by the roots, turned upside down and poured in concrete – trees toppled and kicking wildly, an image that reflects the story of Metzger's life. More
Tronies
Exhibition 29.10.10 – 06.02.11
The paintings and drawings by the South African artist, who has lived in Amsterdam since 1976, do not arise in a natural setting, unlike the Tronies from the Golden Age. Rather, they are made from photographic reproductions in books and other print media. More
The Future of Tradition – the Tradition of Future
Exhibition 17.09.10 – 09.01.11
In 1910, the exhibition "Masterpieces of Muhammadan Art" was held on the Theresienhöhe in Munich. With almost 3,600 exhibits, it was the largest display of art from the Islamic cultural sphere ever shown, even to this day. Exactly one hundred years later the exhibition at the Haus der Kunst will be remembering this epoch–making show and will carry out an important change of viewpoint: It includes, among others, contemporary art, design, photography and fashion and offers artists and institutions the possibility of participating in the exhibition with their own concepts.

Michael Schmidt
Exhibition 21.05 – 22.08.10
The works by Berlin-based artist Michael Schmidt present a further distinctive position within contemporary photography shown at the Haus der Kunst. Michael Schmidt takes only black-and-white photographs since, in his view, this neutralises our colourful world reducing it to a wide spectrum of greys. More
Thomas Mayfried
Exhibition 21.05 – 22.08.10
In 2003, architecture, design, fashion, film and photography were added alongside the visual arts as programmatic foci in the Haus der Kunst. This extended programme was accompanied by a new identity designed by Thomas Mayfried. This presentation provides an insight into the designer's studio and his process of designing; it shows influences and favourites. More
Collection and Archive of Herman and Nicole Daled
Exhibition 30.04 – 25.07.10
The exhibition at the Haus der Kunst concentrates on the period between 1966 and 1978, thereby providing a lively portrait of the progressive, international art scene at that time. More
Ed Ruscha
Exhibition 12.02 – 02.05.10
The American Artist Ed Ruscha (*1937) works in a variety of media: He is a painter, filmmaker, photographer and graphic artist. It is the artist’s paintings dating from the end of the 1950s to today that are central to his comprehensive retrospective at the Haus der Kunst. More
Golden Times Part 1 + Part 2
Exhibition 15.01 – 11.04.10
"Golden Times" presents works by four contemporary artists, who consider "history" as an unstable concept: as a construction made up from innumerable facets and fragments; as a question of interpretation, narration and fiction. More
