K. O. Götz

From 12 Dec 2013 to 01 Mar 2014

In honour of the 100th birthday of German abstract artist Karl Otto Götz (b. 22 Feb 1914) the Nationalgalerie presents a comprehensive retrospective of his art.

The show includes some 60 important works spanning more than eight decades of Götz's career, from his early Surrealistic watercolours, to his photograms and squeegee works of the 1950s and 1960s, concluding with examples of his most recent paintings.

The exhibition examines the processes behind Götz's work as well as recurring themes, and highlights his influence on future generations of artists, in particular his two most famous pupils: Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter.

Tues-Sun 10.00-18.00. Thurs 10.00-22.00. Sat 10.00-20.00
