Mary Heilmann und Blinky Palermo im Dialog

Starting with its own collection of works by the great colorist August Macke, the Kunstmuseum has for decades focused on painting, this "old" and continually "young" medium so capable of renewal. It is against this background that the solo exhibition of the American artist Mary Heilmann can be understood, whose oeuvre these last years has inspired the increasing interest of the art community. The ambiguity of her pictures provides Heilmann's starting point for this exhibition that has been conceived specifically for Kunstmuseum Bonn and invites a visual dialogue with another artist personality. Knowing of the museum's rich holdings especially in the field of painting, Heilmann was inspired to suggest a tête-à-tête with the paintings and wall objects of Blinky Palermo (1943-1977). She has speculated on finding here a related sensibility and a comparative proficiency vis-à-vis the dogmas of Modernism. 0Exhibition: Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany (11.07. - 29.09.2013). 0.
