KARL HORST HÖDICKE
PALAIS POPULAIRE

9 OCTOBER 2020 – 8 MARCH 2021
After initially being shown at Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, the retrospective „K. H. Hödicke“ was then seen at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin. The exhibition offers insight into an almost inexhaustible artistic oeuvre and in its juxtaposition of drawings, paintings, and sculpture demonstrates that K. H. Hödicke today is to be counted among the classics but that his decades-spanning work has retained its freshness and topicality.

The paintings on paper were preceded by so-called DIN A4 drawings from the late 1960s to the late 1970s, which occupy a special position in the work cycle of small-format drawings. Their pictorial ideas appear as contemporary documentation of this decade. Comprised of more than 140 drawings, 80 of which are on display in the exhibition, the present DIN A4 catalogue is devoted exclusively to this group of works.
