Works on the Edge
A new selection of the collection of the Ludwig Muzeum
Opening: March 15 - December 31 2005

Our new exhibition opening on 15 March will display the well-known visitors' favourites and also the museum's new aqusisitions and some pieces submitted exclusively for this occasion to represent the newest tendencies. While the 1996 exhibition concentrated on the "big classics" (Picasso and American Popart: Oldenburg, Warhol, Rauschenberg and Lichtenstein) and the art of the early 1990's, this selection will premiére quite a few fresh works, with some remarkable projects from the museum's earlier exhibitions (Judit Hersko, Gusztav Hamos-Katja Pratschke, Jaan Toomik, L. A. Raeven).
