Königsklasse I
"During the summer of 2013 the North Wing of Herrenchiemsee Palace, built by Ludwig II, provided the dazzling setting for artworks from the Pinakothek der Moderne. For the every first time this remarkable place was witness to an encounter between modernity and tradition, Europe and America. Rooms devoted to the artists displayed important works by Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer and Eugen Schönebeck in response to space-filling installations by Dan Flavin, Andy Warhol, Willem de Kooning and John Chamberlain. Here, where it had been impossible to realise the utopia of unlimited beauty, there is space for the reality of contemporary art."--Page 4 of back cover.
