The Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) at the
Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich is one of the world's leading
institutions for painting, sculpture, photography and new media.
The spectrum ranges from the avant-garde movements of the early
twentieth century to contemporary art. In the incomparably rich
collection of Expressionists, the Cubist and Futuristic
re-definition of autonomous art challenges the question of man's
changed circumstances in the modern age. The artists of the
'Brücke' and the 'Blaue Reiter', along with Max Beckmann, who is
uniquely represented here, address this issue eloquently. Pablo
Picasso's pictorial fantasies and formal richness of invention are
highlighted, along with Surrealists like Max Ernst, René Magritte
and Salvador Dalí. Important themes after 1950 are debated in the
works by Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Georg Baselitz and
others. This volume offers the author's refreshingly personal
perspective on these subjects and highlights the iconic works in
this world-class collection.
