At last!: Following the re-opening of the temporary exhibition space, the rooms housing the permanent collections in the existing museum complex of the Museum Küppersmühle are now once again accessible to the public. Awaiting visitors to the Ströher Collection is the customary outstanding survey of German post-war art, ranging from Anselm Kiefer to Gerhard Richter.

In addition, the presentation of the collections has undergone several innovative changes: first and foremost, an entire room featuring large-format cityscapes by Ralph Fleck: In their subtle interplay of proximity and distance, “Essen”, “Berlin”, “Hamburg” and “Leipzig” challenge the viewers’ visual perception. Furthermore, the rooms hosting works by Markus Lüpertz and Gerhard Richter have been redesigned, with the MKM’s Informel gallery also augmented by an additional work from Gerhard Hoehme.
