World Culture: The exhibition "Face to the Future. The Art of Europe 1945-1968" in Moscow

7 March 2017

The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts (Moscow), together with the Fine Arts Center BOZAR (Brussels), the ZKM Arts and Media Center (Karlsruhe) and with the support of the State Museum and Exhibition Center ROSIZO, since March 7 presents the exhibition "Face to the Future. The Art of Europe 1945-1968". The project, unique in its scope, is being continued for the second year, and during this time the exhibition has already been shown consistently in Brussels and Karlsruhe. Despite the fact that the composition of the exposition has undergone changes every time, the principled conceptual position remains unchanged: it is a view of the postwar art and culture of Western and Eastern Europe as a single artistic landscape created by the efforts of masters of different countries, no matter what political camps they belonged to.

The exhibition "Face to the future. The Art of Europe 1945-1968" includes about 200 works by artists from 18 European countries and from the Russian Federation (i.e. the former RSFSR). Among the museums provided exhibits for the exhibition: the Tate Modern (London), the National Museum of Modern Art and Culture Georges Pompidou (Paris), the National Gallery of Berlin, the Stadeleik (Amsterdam), the Picasso Museum (Paris), the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (Madrid), Zero Foundation (Düsseldorf), the Beyler Foundation (Rien / Basel), the Museum of Modern Art (Vienna), the Museum of Independence (Warsaw), the Tangli Museum (Basel), the National Gallery in Budapest, the National Museum in Krakow, the National Gallery in Olomouc (Czech Republic), Kunsthalle of the city of Emden (Germany) and others.
