Aenigma | A hundred years of anthroposophic art
March 19 – July 26, 2015
Opening: March 19, 2015 | 6.30 PM
Museum of Modern Art | Triple Nave
The exhibition will give a broad overview of anthroposophic art in chronological order, from the groundbreaking ceremony of the first Goetheanum in 1913, to the present – with special emphasis on the political tension between east and west. It will present important anthroposophic artists from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Czech lands and Poland. The concept of the exhibition pursues the anthroposophic tendency to Gesamtkunstwerk: it will feature architectural models, artistic workmanship, designs, sculptures, graphics and paintings as well as clothing, toys and musical instruments. For the first time visitors will be offered a comprehensive insight into the extraordinary diversity of anthroposophic art and the art of living. For the exhibition, an extensive catalogue will be issued in collaboration with the Arbor Vitae publishing house. It will contain rich visual and heuristic materials and professional texts.
