Klee & Kandinsky

Paul Klee (1879–1940) and Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) count as the founding fathers of abstract art and at the same time had one of the great friendships in the history of art. The exhibition reveals a great deal about the narrow division between friendship and rivalry, between mutual artistic inspiration and personal distinction, but also between success and condemnation. Besides preciosities from their own collections, the Zentrum Paul Klee and their partner, the Municipal Gallery in the Lenbachhaus in Munich, have assembled altogether 150 pictures from the most famous museums in the world, from the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the National Gallery in Berlin to the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
