After the Second World War, an avant-garde art movement established itself first in France and then in Germany, which was primarily characterized by abstraction and the abandonment of the representational. In Germany, artist groups such as ZEN 49 in Munich, the Quadriga in Frankfurt and Gruppe 53 in Düsseldorf formed and pursued the new style. Key works from this period and works by the central artistic personalities are brought together in the exhibition from the period at Villa Schöningen. In addition to providing insight into the 1950s and 1960s, the exhibition aims to present the groundbreaking significance of abstraction and, in particular, Informel for the following developments in art. The exhibition is made possible by the generous loans from Sylvia and Ulrich Ströher.
