Nitsche + Feehily

Nitsche Berlin

Since my flight to London was in the afternoon yesterday, I managed to visit CFA (Contemporary Fine Arts) in the morning before leaving Berlin.  The title Abstrakt of the group exhibition at CFA was too tempting to resist.  I was surprised to see a painting by my favourite Berlin artist Frank Nitsche included in the show:

I also found Nitsche's paintings by chance at Galerie Gebr. Lehmann this past weekend:

Not a bad way to end the Berlin chapter of my trip!

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.

Nitsche's aerodynamic forms

I saw his works in art books in 2009.  Frank Nitsche is one of the contemporary German artists whose works I am most eager to see.  The aerodynamic forms he painted are intriguing.
