A long-awaited retrospective on the unique and highly inspiring work of Max Ernst (1891-1976), German born, French naturalized Dadaist and Surrealist extraordinaire. An artist/philosopher of the highest calibre, his vast experimentation in the field of frottage, collage, oscillation , free association and chance effects brought new life to Modernist techniques and influenced the important American Abstract Expressionist movement. The exhibition will showcase circa 200 pieces including paintings, sculptures, drawings, illustrated books, and jewellery from foundations, private collections, and museums such as: Tate London; Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice; Musei Vaticani, Rome; Beyeler Foundation, Basel; Max Ernst Museum, Brühl; and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Charismatic and surprising works which greatly contributed to a revolutionary change in the artistic thought process.A must see!
