Documentation will show Gurlitt Collection – Südwestpresse



The artistic Director of documenta, Adam Szymczyk, would have the Art Fund from the estate of Cornelius Gurlitt happy for the international art exhibition in 2017 in Kassel.

“I’m not interested in an exclusive or first spectacular presentation, but would like the art in the political and aesthetic context of the documenta in their entirety show, “Szymczyk said the” Süddeutsche Zeitung “.

The international art exhibition offers a unique context, it should be but even understood as a historical document , Szymczyk said: “The documenta was always a meta-exhibition – a statement about the world of the present, of which the culture is a sensitive part, a cognitive extension.” Instead of staging highlights, he would prefer “to show the whole of the estate in a quiet way, almost neutral, perhaps only in chronological order”. The majority of visitors come not because of a spectacle or a scandal, but out of interest in the art.

Szymczyk will also seek loans from the works that have been classified as a Nazi-looted art and returned to their former owners, therefore, were.

The documenta 14 will be held from 10 June to 17 September 2017. For the first time it is opened not in Kassel, but advance in Athens and there have a second great location.
