Art in Architecture: The Historic Columned Hall
Saturday, 6 June, 3–3.30 pm, Hamburger Kunsthalle
With Kiara Venegas
Some works of art have become an integral part of the Hamburger Kunsthalle – the objects complement the architecture of our building and are therefore unique in their execution. In the ‘Art in Architecture’ tour series, we will discuss selected works from the Kunsthalle. We will explore the background to these diverse works and examine the interplay between art and architecture.
The historic Columned Hall on the ground floor of the old building, currently the museum café, is a fitting example: art does not stop at the edge of the regular exhibition space. If you look up, you will discover an impressive relief beneath the ceiling – the Parthenon Frieze, which ranks among the museum’s little-noticed treasures.
The tour takes this unusual location as its starting point and asks: What is the significance of the protruding figures, and what does this frieze have to do with ‘copied art’? Where does the line lie between original and copy, between artwork and decoration?
