Audio Guide „Outstanding! The Relief from Rodin to Picasso” at the Städel Museum

ABOUT THE AUDIO GUIDE

With the audio guide, you’ll get to know outstanding works of relief art and experience the many-faceted art form that links painting and sculpture. The approximately 60-minute guide contains audio tracks and images on approximately 30 artworks.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Rodin, Matisse, Gauguin, Picasso, Hans Arp, Yves Klein – they all made art that was outstanding in the truest sense: reliefs! Oscillating between the second and third dimensions, the relief burst limits—those of the frame and those imposed by our own visual habits. This ambiguity has always made reliefs appealing to the most famous artists.

Works of art will be on display, spanning some 150 years, by artists that include Bertel Thorvaldsen, Jules Dalou, Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso, Paul Gauguin, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Alexander Archipenko, as well as Hans Arp, Kurt Schwitters, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Yves Klein, Louise Nevelson, and Lee Bontecou.
