Pattern and Decoration
The movement Pattern and Decoration was started in the USA in the 1970s by a number of artists, such as Joyce Kozloff, Valerie Jaudon, Robert Kushner, and Miriam Schapiro. Followers of the movement radically distinguished themselves from the predominant Minimal Art and Concept Art of the time. Their works celebrate sensuality, fantasy, and colour, as well as an immediate lust for life.
The exhibition will present a selection of works from the Peter and Irene Ludwig collection that demonstrate the movement’s diversity for the very first time in Europe: the spectrum of artistic forms ranges from mosaics influenced by oriental art, monumental textile collages, paintings, and graphic works through to room-sized installations and video performances.
The exhibition is on view between 5 October and 5 January.
