On view at Kun­st­mu­se­um Wolfs­burg, Ger­many until 16th July 2023, Re-Invent­ing Piet. Mon­dri­an and the Con­se­quences curat­ed by Andreas Beitin and Ele­na Engel­brech con­sid­ers the pro­lif­ic influ­ence of Dutch artist, Piet Mon­dri­an. From cloth­ing and cos­met­ics pack­ag­ing to watch­es, T‑shirts, bags, and even entire façades of build­ings — who is not famil­iar with the catchy and quick­ly rec­og­niz­able design of every­day objects which are based as unin­hib­it­ed­ly and blunt­ly appro­pri­ate the abstract com­po­si­tions of one of the most impor­tant artists of the twen­ti­eth cen­tu­ry: Piet Mon­dri­an. Time and again, he called for art and life to be linked; and indeed, his works and their vari­a­tions have visu­al­ly invad­ed count­less areas of life. Based on works from his most impor­tant cre­ative peri­od, the exhi­bi­tion offers an insight into the mul­ti­fac­eted explo­ration of Piet Mondrian’s main neo­plas­tic work through around 150 art­works and objects.


Under the aspect of reflec­tion and recep­tion, Joseph Kosuth’s exhibit­ing work Mon­dri­an’s Work XV, 2015 approach­es Mondrian’s paint­ings on a con­cep­tu­al lev­el by quot­ing var­i­ous state­ments from Mondrian’s writings.
