An exhibition realized in collaboration with the New Museum Nure
Opening: Friday, April 25, 2003 8 p.m.

60ies and 70ies so-called new sculpture from the USA and the preoccupation with painting from the 1990ies onward form the backbone of the collection established by the German gallery owner and collector Rolf Ricke. The collection, on permanent loan at the New Museum Nuremberg since 2002, comprises 66 artists overall and more than 200 objects. It abounds in big names and outstanding works. The exhibition at the Kunstraum Innsbruck highlights the emphasis accorded the language of the objects and materials used: mass and weight, texture and tactile qualities, colour, reflection of light and surface structure on the one hand, and connotations of function and imagery on the other. One of the focal points will be groups of works by Bill Bollinger and Barry Le Va presented side by side with objects by Richard Artschwager, Joe Baer, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Gary Kuehn, Lee Lozano, Richard Serra and Keith Sonnier. The second part of the exhibition will take a look at installation painting: Elizabeth Cooper, Fabian Marcaccio, Carl Ostendarp, Steven Parrino, David Reed, Günter Umberg and recent Californian painting by Ingrid Calame, Amy Green, and Steven Hull.
