Wolfgang Joop Retrospective Opens Saturday in Potsdam With Free Admission

Curated by partner Edwin Lemberg, the show blends runway video with paintings to present Joop as a multidisciplinary artist.

Overview

  • The exhibition runs October 4 to November 18 at Kunstraum Potsdam.
  • Meter-high projections of past runway collections appear alongside more than 200 paintings and sculptures featuring recurring angels and monkeys.
  • The presentation spans 450 square meters arranged in six thematic sections.
  • Lemberg calls the art–fashion combination bold and new, and Joop describes the survey as an ambivalent, emotional look back.
  • Organizers report strong interest and say a tour to other cities is conceivable, with no concrete plans disclosed.
