Stuttgart-born Willi Baumeister is among the most important German artists of the post-war period and was an eloquent spokesman for abstract painting. The exhibition reflects his international relationships with artists, gallery owners, collectors and art historians. The focus is on the main groups of Will Baumeister's works, starting from his constructivist phase to the Mauerbilder and on to the late "Montaru" pictures and the "Afrika" series. These exhibits are supplemented with works by artist friends like Oskar Schlemmer, Hans Arp and Fernand Leger. Archive records, letters, historical publications, newspaper articles and photographs also show the extent of Baumeister' attracted attention and provoked discussion at home and abroad.
