Munich (dpa / lby) – The Lenbachhaus in Munich is planning a show with works by the famous British painter Joseph William Turner next autumn. From October 28, 2023, more than 80 paintings, watercolors and sketches will be on display in cooperation with the London gallery Tate Britain, the museum announced on Tuesday in Munich at the presentation of the annual program. Turner is considered a master of Romanticism and a pioneer of modernism. His landscape depictions are particularly famous.

The show by the German-Iranian sculptor Natascha Sadr Haghighian, who designed the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2019, is highly political. In Munich she shows installations on topics such as migration or armament, such as “Pssst Leopard 2A7”. An exhibition in autumn 2023 is dedicated to Günter Fruhtrunk, who among other things created the design for bags for the discounter Aldi Nord.

From March 31, 2023, in cooperation with the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam, visitors can deal with the life’s work of Charlotte Salomon, who was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. The focus is on her singspiel “Leben? oder Theater?” with illustrations and texts that she created under the impression of the threat posed by the National Socialists.

The Lenbachhaus is presenting a retrospective of the artist Etel Adnan until February 26th. The collection of works by the Blue Rider is also famous. The cultural department expects a total of 200,000 visitors by the end of the year. This puts the Städtische Galerie back where it was in 2019, before the corona pandemic.
