Ausstellung und Katalog: Günther Förg – Legacy of Modernism, CAC Málaga

15. März – 26. Mai 2024

The CAC de Málaga presents an outstanding exhibition of the work of Günther Förg, a renowned German artist of the second half of the 20th century and a fundamental pillar of European contemporary art. Entitled Legacy of Modernism and curated by Michael Neff and Fernando Francés, the exhibition introduces visitors to the artist’s minimalist oeuvre through twenty-nine meticulously selected paintings, spanning from 1987 to 2004. The show, including large-format works, pieces on paper and paintings on lead, has been designed to tie in with the modern architectural style of the CAC Málaga building, in a conscious attempt to reflect Förg’s deep interest in architecture and the inspiration he drew from artists such as Barnett Newman, Mies van der Rohe and the Blinky Palermo of the 1970s.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalog with a text by Modesta Di Paola.
