Europa

Titled “Europe,” Villa Schöningen presents, in a collaborative project with the Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur e.V. Bonn, eight large-scale paintings by Anselm Kiefer and six books designed by the artist, created between 1994 and 2010. The artist is thus realizing one of his rare exhibition presentations in Germany and publicly showcasing a series of works entirely dedicated to the theme of the cow for the first time. Kiefer addresses a subject that has been relevant in European art history for centuries and has engaged artists from Titian to Warhol.

Fabric. Textile and the Female Nude

 Current exhibition

The exhibition Fabric: Textile and the Female Nude explores how the tradition of depicting the female nude is connected to the portrayal of textiles. Whether historical paintings or contemporary photographs, the clothing, fabrics, and draperies in these works continue to influence the depiction of the female body today—and accentuate, veil, or even censor nudity. Featuring works by Lucas Cranach, Rembrandt, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Cindy Sherman.

In addition to works in the house, an installation by artist Sophie Utikal will also be shown in the historic park of Villa Schöningen.
