Weiß und andere Farben

I visited the contemporary art gallery of Hamburger Kunsthalle today.  As in any art museum, the display of its collection is a mix-big.  More to my personal taste is its collection on the first floor, titled Weiß und andere Farben (white and other colours).

I was most surprised and very delighted to see Frank Nitsche:


It is worth mentioning that the architect for the gallery addition to Hamburger Kunsthalle was O.M. Ungers, who is well known for his use of cubic forms in his designs.  His architectural drawings are among my favourites.
