Jo Baer25.05. - 25.08.2013
Museum Ludwig, Cologne

Baer is re­gard­ed as a pi­oneer of Min­i­mal­ism and al­ready reached an ini­tial high point in her ca­reer in 1975 when the Whit­ney Mu­se­um of Amer­i­can Art mount­ed a ret­ro­spec­tive of her work.

Start­ing out from a scarce­ly known core of draw­ings, which are flanked by ma­jor works on can­vas, the ex­hi­bi­tion con­cen­trates on the artist’s min­i­mal­ist pe­ri­od from 1960 to 1975 be­fore fol­low­ing on to her cur­rent, fig­u­ra­tive work. With around 170 works, this will be Baer’s largest overview ex­hi­bi­tion to date.
