DEEDS CALENDAR: Sammlung Scharff-Gerstenberg – Formverluste? | until 27.10.2024

The focus of this year’s collection presentation from June 12, 2024 from the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection is Bernard Schultze’s „Großes Migof-Labyrinth“ (“Great Migof Labyrinth”) from the Nationalgalerie collection. The environment, created in 1966, was last exhibited in Berlin in 1984. Migof is a fantasy word of the artist, to which he dedicated a number of works of art. „Großes Migof-Labyrinth“ translates the abstract painting of the Informel into a three-dimensional image space made of canvas and oil, wire, wood, fabric and polyester. With its semi-abstract figures and various individual objects, it is reminiscent of the enigmatic exhibition installations of Surrealism in which mythical creatures appeared, birdcages were placed over the heads of mannequins or bulging coal sacks hung from the ceiling. Schultze (1915 – 2005) stages a world of absurdity with which he caricatured the Pop Art that was so successful in the 1980s and at the same time recalls the horrors of the Vietnam War, which lasted almost a quarter of a century.
