Exhibitions

From January, 19 until June, 2, 2013 the museum Frieder Burda presents about 30 large-scale works by this Chilean-born artist in a focused retrospective. The exhibition Matta. Fictions stretches from Matta’s beginnings as a Surrealist through to his panoramic paintings of the 1990s.  Matta was one of the most influential painters of the 20th century. His often overwhelmingly large paintings anticipated the fantastic worlds found in works of science fiction and computer games. In Germany, the internationally famous painter with his spherical colours and gigantic formats are to be rediscovered. As a pivotal member of the Surrealist group and a major influence on American Abstract Expressionism, Matta (Santiago de Chile, 1911-Tarquinia, Italy, 2002) is clearly a crucial figure in 20th century art. A genuine visionary and a forerunner of the relations between art and science and nature, he was a committed advocate of art's essential role in individual human development.
