Guardrails in the Museum Foyer: A Test Placement with Bettina Pousttchi

„Ein Glas Wasser, bitte (A Glass of Water, Please)“

What happens when two colours meet? Katharina Grosse explores this fundamental artistic question in her first work on glass, ‘Ein Glas Wasser, bitte (A Glass of Water, Please). At the centre of the piece are the complementary colours blue and orange and “how these colours mix, cross, repel, disturb and enrich each other in a watery state”, says the artist about her design. “It’s about the energy that is created in the process. This energy has a transformational power that can inspire and excite all who are in front of or behind the glass wall. It shows that the world is in flux.”

Japanese maple arrived!

Another sunbather is now flaunting in our patio!

In the early morning hours of the 20th December a giant crane hovered once again above the Reinhard Ernst Museum. This time carrying the latest permanent addition to the patio, our Japanese maple! Together with the three times heavier steel sculpture ”Buscando la luz III” by Spanish-Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) these two sun bathers will soon welcome guests as they enter the museum.

Bravo, Frank Stella! Film about the Jawlensky Prize winner 2022

Waves, nets, boat planks, spray – and always the whale. We the viewers in the middle. In the middle of a whaling adventure. In the middle of art as an adventure. In the middle of a work by Frank Stella. To honour the 2022 Jawlensky Prize winner, the Reinhard Ernst Museum has brought two large-format sculptures from Stella’s Moby Dick series to life on film.
