Dear ArtTalkers,

Museum Ludwig and other Cologne Museums are now open. There are unfortunately still no tours allowed and that means I can’t offer any ArtTalks – yet⚡

Maybe you and your friends can still grab a spot to visit the current Andy Warhol exhibition? It was extended to June 14^th and, who knows, maybe it will be extended again.

Here is the link to try to book a 2-hour time slot in Museum Ludwig.

I visited the Andy show and was surprised by his early paintings. There are also some fine drawings of nudes done with a Matisse-like bravado (beware of the many penis portraits 😉), outstanding photographs and a cool multi-media room with music by the Velvet Underground.

If you dig American society and culture of the 1960s and 1970s, this show might be for you. In the large AC/DC space, the curators have set up a rondel with TVs and many celebrity interviews that you can sit down and watch. There are also many large-scale works not previously shown in Europe.

Would you still like to discover art, artists´ stories and be inspired by art and ArtTalks? I miss the joy that discovering beautiful visual and conceptual ideas gives me and I miss talking about this with you all, my dear ArtTalkers 😍

I’m hoping to be able to offer ArtTalks again in September. Keep your fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Until then stay healthy and enjoy the summer☀

Artful wishes,
Karla
