The exhibition’s focus is on a selection from Würth Collection, complemented by several of the artist’s sculptures, as well as by pieces from the Jewellery Museum’s collection – displayed alongside the graphics, and entering into dialog with them. Max Ernst accepted things as they appeared, and took a very associative, unconfined approach, something that opens up numerous possibilities for the interplay between his works and jewelry.
Artist list
Max Ernst
In the Würth Collection, Max Ernst occupies a central artistic position. A unique collection of books and graphics constitutes the core of the Max Ernst section, making this surrealist’s almost unsurpassable diverse, seemingly boundless visual universe experientially accessible, starting from his very first creations all the way through to his fantastic later works.
Opening Hours
Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am - 5 pm.
Price
€ 4.50 normal ticket; € 2.50 reduced; € 6.00 includes a visit to the Technical Museum of Pforzheim’s Jewellery and Watchmaking Industries; free for children under 14 and holders of a Museums-Pass-Musées.
Guided tour by appointment only.
Max Ernst (1891–1976) ranks among the most inspiring and influential artists of the 20th century. His oeuvre’s charismatic appeal has lasted well beyond his era. Parts of his biographical notes are fictitious, and he always remained ironically detached from his works and techniques. His pictures feature figurative elements as well as imaginary forms, and his works have been created from mixed media. Max Ernst was a crossover artist and a master of the realm of in-between-ness. Like his life, his oeuvre is characterized by disjunctions and thematic changes, both of which combine to express his visionary, skeptical concept of the world.
