Around 1800, civil society as we know it today was formed. The self-confident bourgeoisie founded numerous associations and educational institutions, including the Kunstgesellschaft Luzern in 1819, in order to create a picture archive for the population. The presentation of the collection on the occasion of the anniversary addresses this revolutionary epoch.
Judy Millar (1957) is New Zealand’s most important painter. The exposition is now offering the opportunity to gain an overview of her entire oeuvre, which she has created in Auckland and Berlin over the past forty years. In addition to her well-known series of paintings and her painting installations, which the artist often created for New Zealand museums, early drawings from the 1980s will be shown as the foundation of her work.
The exhibition presents 60 masterpieces from the Ordrupgaard Museum in Copenhagen, which brings together the greatest impressionists of 19th century French painting.
