HARALD SZEEMANN — MUSEUM OF OBSESSIONS

Leave a reply

The Getty Center exhibition HARALD SZEEMANN—MUSEUM OF OBSESSIONS “explores the life and career of the quintessential exhibition maker, from his groundbreaking involvement with the avant-garde movements of the 1960s and 1970s and his global contemporary exhibitions of the 1990s and 2000s to his personal reading of early 20th-century modernism. Drawn from materials in the Harald Szeemann Archive at the Getty Research Institute, the exhibition is structured as a surprising series of thematic interests: avant-gardes, utopias and visionaries, geographies, and grandfathers.”*

HARALD SZEEMANN—MUSEUM OF OBSESSIONS, through May 6.
