'BEETHOVEN MOVES' at the Kunsthistorisches Museu, Vienna

BEETHOVEN MOVES,The exhibition at the Kunsthistorisches Museum #vienna brings Beethoven into dialogue with artists like Friedrich, Goya, Rodin, Horn, Baldessari and Sehgal.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum #vienna presents, in cooperation with the Archive of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in #vienna, an unusual homage to Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827).

His universal and unique reception, the epochal significance of his music, but also the perception of his deified persona, create numerous entry points; high and popular culture, commerce and politics all form an inexhaustible reservoir for inspiration and appropriation.

The exhibition brings together paintings by #caspardavidfriedrich, sketchbooks by #jmwturner, graphic works by #franciscodegoya, #anselmkiefer and #jorindevoigt, sculptures by #augusterodin, #rebeccahorn and a new work developed for the exhibition by #tinosehgal, #avideobyguidovanderwerve and much more, all of which are brought into dialogue with the music and persona of Beethoven. The exhibition will thus build a bridge with the present: masterpieces of fine art form connections with music and silence.
