Current exhibitions

The exhibition conveys the sparkling encounter between two of the world art's giants: the introverted, dreamy skeptic Joan Miró and the outgoing and social Asger Jorn. Where Miró cultivated a form of cosmic order, Jorn thrived around chaos.

Ernest Mancoba (1904–2002) is considered one of South Africa’s first modern avant-garde artists although he spent most of his life in Europe. The exhibition is an attempt to draw attention to one of the most neglected figures of the post-war avant-garde and the CoBrA movement.

The international Cobra movement (1948-51) was based on openness, equality, collaboration and community with the goal of employing art to unite the world after the divisive conflicts of the Second World War. Yet Cobra comes across as an all-male club whose gender composition has been taken for granted over the years.

From 12 February, the museum will be showing the first retrospective exhibition in Scandinavia featuring the German artist A.R. Penck.
