Starting in the 1960s, the Aachen collector Peter Ludwig acquired large bodies of works by prominent Pop-Artists. In its collection, the Ludwig Forum in Aachen houses works with cult status, like the hyperrealistic figures of Duane Hanson, the &#8220;Supermarket Lady&#8221; and the &#8220;Homeless Group&#8221;, or the photorealistic paintings of Chuck Close. The exhibition features works from the Ludwig collection by Jean Michel Basquiat, Martin Kippenberger, Richard Estes and Don Eddy, as well as Robert Smithson&#8217;s photographs of Spiral Jetty and Suzan Pitt&#8217;s Asparagus Theater. In addition, Franz Gertsch&#8217;s &#8220;Medici&#8221;, works by John Ahearn, Lee Lozano, Piero Manzoni, Nancy Graves and Lygia Clark have been reinstalled in the rooms of the Ludwig Forum.<\/p>\n<p>This presentation of the collection, in itself conceived of as a long-term installation, is complemented for the duration of this exhibition with works by contemporary artists who, like the Pop Generation of the 1960s and their successors, also have a special focus on the issue of reality in art. The contrast of artistic positions exposes not only the perpetuation of an artistic tradition, albeit with a critical and ironical detachment, but also the changing approach of the different generations towards the same issue. New Formalism and a retreat from the documentary surface towards a meta-reflection that defines realism as being just as real as minimalism or modernist architecture \u2013 all make for a new, multi-refracted reference. The realism of political propaganda exemplified in the work of Yael Bartana, the apparent drastic nature of vigilante justice featured in Annette Wehrmann&#8217;s work, neo-minimalism meets neo-nouveau-realism in the case of Gabriel Kuri, or the hyperrealistic paintings of Susanne Paesler represent these new artistic positions.<\/p>\n<p>Curated by Dr. Brigitte Franzen<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pop Up!, Selected works in the Exhibition<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Jean-Michel-Basquiat-Grazing-Soup-to-Nuts-MGM-1930-1983-geschn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"460\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Jean-Michel-Basquiat-Grazing-Soup-to-Nuts-MGM-1930-1983-geschn.jpg 460w, https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Jean-Michel-Basquiat-Grazing-Soup-to-Nuts-MGM-1930-1983-geschn-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The collection featuring Haegue Yang, Sofia Hult\u00e9n, Annette Wehrmann, Karoe Goldt, Gabriel Kuri, Nairy Baghramian, Susanne Paesler, Danica Dakic, and Yael Bartana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":4533,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[14],"class_list":["post-1796","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tribe_events_cat-exhibition","cat_exhibition"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/1796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/1796\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1796"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ludwigforum.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=1796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
