Constellations III
Stadel Museum, Frankfurt
A survey of the paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper from museum's collection
Curators: Max Hollein, Dr. Sabine Schulze, and Dr. Jutta Schütt
Constellations III offers a survey of the paintings, sculptures, installations, and works on paper from the second half of the twentieth century in the collection of the Städel Museum.
While many museums with outstanding collections of old master paintings limit their collecting activity to those eras, the Städel has always seen it as its task to integrate current, contemporary trends into its collection as well. From its founding in the early nineteenth century to the present, this has remained an important concern of the institution.
The Städel consequently possesses a series of significant works of art from the second half of the twentieth century and is expanding this area of the collection continuously through acquisitions, commissioned works, and donations. Constellations III is a continuation of the periodically changing presentation of the collection of works from the second half of the twentieth century and from the twenty-first century that began with Constellations I in May 2006.
