Overview

• Kunstraum Potsdam hosts the exhibition from October 4 to November 18 with free admission daily from 12:00 to 20:00.
• Past runway collections from Paris and Milan are re-staged through large video projections rather than live presentations.
• Joop’s recurring ‘Affenliebe’ motif appears across media, including acrylic paintings, silver-thread embroidery and black marble busts with golden rosary details.
• The 80-year-old designer, who turns 81 in November, describes the retrospective as a moving look at his past and says he is considering writing a cynical, humorous book.
• Organizers say there will be no red-carpet vernissage, and Joop’s partner Edwin Lemberg planned the show and noted a possible tour to other cities without concrete plans.
