About the
Exhibition
Günter Brus has had a lasting influence on international art history with his actions and image poems. The BRUSEUM offers a concentrated insight into his diverse and extensive oeuvre. This is currently limited to the first room.
In addition to rarely seen works from his early informal period, there is documentation of his actions between 1964 and 1970, which established his international reputation as a pioneer of body art.
His break with body art was followed by a turn to drawing – the cut on his own body became a mark on paper once again. The open fusion of word and image, the fluid transition from the written to the drawn, once again reveals the doubly talented artist as an innovator and boundary-breaker.
He understands so-called image poetry as an independent artistic genre at the interface between literature and visual art. The selection from the collection shows the continuities of motifs and working processes in his artistic career spanning more than five decades.
