About
The exhibition _Seeing Words, Reading Images_ brings together positions from the Written Art Collection with selected works from the Deutsche Bank Collection, one of the leading corporate collections of contemporary works on paper, in a multifaceted dialogue. The starting point is the relation between writing and image—as line, informal gesture, handwriting and calligraphy, typography, or the written image. The focus is on the significance of written art as a medium of global understanding and on the boundless visual and textual possibilities of storytelling, whether in poetry, political criticism, or the engagement with history. Thematic sections allow visitors to experience different aspects of the art of writing. Curated by Marie-Kathrin Krimphoff, Curator Written Art Collection, and Svenja Gräfin von Reichenbach, Director PalaisPopulaire
