Based On Paper – The Marzona
Collection.
Revolutions in Art 1965 – 1975
At the centre of the Marzona Collection at
the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin is Western
avant-garde art of the 1960s and 1970s in
which a transformation of traditional ideas
about art happened on many levels. Drawings,
collages, artist‘s publications, invitation
cards and posters in the American and
European art of this period, from Minimal
Art to Land Art, possess a special importance
that is new in many ways, compared
to modern art directly after the war. Working
on paper forms a far-reaching and complex
basis for the practice of art in this period,
for the abovementioned media served
as an important, and sometimes as the sole
vehicle of a ‚revolution in art‘ that was dedicated
to questioning and undermining
traditional expressive and figurative forms
and contents of art.
The exhibition is divided into three
halls which are to be understood as thematic
strands and sections with regard to
content. Art works that arose with an intellectual
affinity and temporal proximity
are brought into a dialogue that allows the
particular artistic zeitgeist of Western art
around 1970 to be recognized.
