Franz Marc Retrospective Opens at K20 Düsseldorf, Travels to Bern in 2025
Franz Marc died at just 36 years old, killed in action in 1916 during the First World War. A major exhibition at K20 in Düsseldorf surveys the painter's oeuvre, which was produced at an extraordinarily rapid pace. The show is scheduled to travel to Bern in the coming year. Marc pursued access to paradise through the gateway of painting, an aspiration captured in the exhibition's framing of life as a diabolical paraphrase while art promises redemption. The presentation assembles his work in Düsseldorf before its Swiss stop.
