Museum Jorn will be showing more than a hundred and fifty paintings, sculptures, drawings, and graphic works by one of the most significant German artists to emerge after World War II, Ralf Winkler (1939-2017) alias A. R. Penck. The exhibition addresses a pictorial world where signs and symbols create visual narratives. In his practice, Penck works with a vibrant symbolic language. His socio-critical graffiti-inspired 'cave paintings' have inspired younger generations of artists across the world. Penck was born and grew up in the former German Democratic Republic whose regime he criticised throughout the Cold War period, creating system pictures unshackled by ideology. For a number of years, he smuggled these pictures to the West to be able to show them. The presentation of Penck at Museum Jorn juxtaposes a number of the artist's major works from public and private collections, including large-scale bronzes and several monumental paintings. Exhibition: Museum Jorn, Silkeborn, Denmark (12.02.-15.05.2022)
