Architecture with Klee.
From Mies van der Rohe to Lisbeth Sachs
1.6.–13.10.2024
Dear media representatives,
From 1 June to 13 October 2024, in the context of the permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee, the Zentrum Paul Klee presents a thematic focus which for the first time explores Paul Klee’s influence on the architecture of the 20th century.
It is well known that Paul Klee influenced music, literature and philosophy in a variety of ways. The fact that the artist also made a lasting impression on architects is the theme of the focus exhibition Architecture with Klee. From Mies van der Rohe to Lisbeth Sachs. At the centre are the remarkable traces of Klee that we can see in the work of selected architects such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Carlo Scarpa, Lisbeth Sachs, Lina Bo Bardi, Aldo van Eyck and Aldo Rossi. Designs, sketches, models and photographs are shown next to works by Klee, his art-theoretical drawings and pedagogical sketches. In this way the presentation shows the interdisciplinary interplay between architecture and art: the architecture is viewed from the sophisticated perspective of Klee the Bauhaus teacher, and his abstract and fantastical works are seen from the viewpoint of architects.
Please find further information on Kosmos Klee and the new Fokus as well as press images in the press kit.
Chief curator Fabienne Eggelhöfer is available for tours of the exhibition from Monday, 17 June 2024. If you are interested, please reach out via press@zpk.org.
Warm regards,
