2019
HOLLYWOOD ICONS
Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation - Greta Garbo, Humphrey Bogart, Alfred Hitchcock & Co.
19.05.2019 bis 15.09.2019
Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford or Clark Gable and many others remain Hollywood icons to this day. The movie industry of the 1920s to 1950s created great stars and skilfully marketed them. Even today everyone is familiar with the recordings of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's or Marlon Brando's The Wild One.
In addition to influential stars and famous directors, the exhibition focuses on the portrait and still photographers who work unnoticed in the background. Their works are essential for the creation of a star image and for the promotion of cinema movies, and their millions of pictorial recordings spread the style that has been a symbol of Hollywood ever since.
A reunion with familiar faces from Judy Garland to Fred Astaire and from James Dean to Elizabeth Taylor, in which Hollywood comes to life in over 200 photographs. Presented by the John Kobal Foundation in collaboration with Terra Esplêndida.
ANNE TEACHES MARY TO READ – THE CULT OF ANNE AROUND 1500
The Instruction of Mary from the Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection in cooperation with the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum Aachen
10.02.2019 bis 12.05.2019
The starting point for the iconographic exhibition Anne Teaches Mary to Read – the Cult of Anne around 1500 is a highly qualitative and unique French stone sculpture dating from the mid-15th century belonging to the Peter and Irene Ludwig Collection. This sculpture was on permanent loan to the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum from 1994 and became the property of the City of Aachen in 2011 through the legacy of Irene Ludwig. It depicts how the enthroned Anne teaches the little Maria standing next to her to read, a pictorial theme that developed in the context of the adoration of Anne. The subject appeared in manuscripts as early as the 13th and early 14th centuries, gaining increasing attention in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period with the increased popularity of the veneration of Anne. It was only in the Baroque period however that the theme gained general popularity which lasted until the 19th century. In the period around 1500, when the cult of Anna reached its zenith, the teaching of Mary was still a rare pictorial theme compared to the much more popular and frequent depiction of the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne.
The exhibition focuses on the sculpture from the Ludwig Collection, which has hitherto been regarded as isolated. Other teachings of Mary are grouped around this figure, the later life of the adult Mary is illuminated and other important motifs from the veneration of Anne are shown.
BRITISH POP ART
A wealth of masterpieces from the Heinz Beck Collection Special Guest: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
27.01.2019 bis 12.05.2019
England is considered to have been the cradle of Pop Art and produced numerous unusual positions on the phenomenon of the then truly revolutionary new art movement. In addition to motifs from everyday life, it is above all the idea that everyone is able to possess art. Copious masterpieces were created through the medium of printmaking, circulation art and multiples.
Düsseldorf lawyer Heinz Beck, whose collection is housed in the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen, has gathered an outstanding collection of works from this period. His preference for reproduced work reflects the idea of a democratisation of art that went down in history with the catchphrase of art for all. For the first time, LUDWIGGALERIE Schloss Oberhausen presents a selection of British Pop Art from this unique collection along with its special and individual traits.

LUDWIGGALERIE will be 20 next year and is celebrating this with a major theme exhibition. That art in all times and cultures viewed gesture as one of the most important means of expression was a fact already known to Leonardo da Vinci: art is a "silent" form of literature. Facial expression, body language and gestures replace words and non-verbal communication is of central importance for fundamentally getting along with each other. Gestures are the general means of comprehension, and in particular beyond the borders of language.
The name-giving collectors of the LUDWIGGALERIE, the Aachen married couple of Peter and Irene Ludwig, gathered together in their extensive art collection works from Antiquity to contemporary times, from pre-Columbian art to the European Middle Ages, from Cuba to Bucharest and from Picasso to the Russian avant-garde. Since the re-inauguration of the former municipal gallery as an exhibition building under the quality seal of the LUDWIGGALERIE, major exhibitions from the holdings have been repeatedly shown. The gesture of gratitude is surely not amiss, in addition to the sense of tension between celebration and pensiveness.
