Jenny Brosinski (*1948), Ina Gerken (*1987) and Adrian Schiss (*1959) have selected some previously unseen works by Frankenthaler from the Reinhard Ernst Collection and staged a joint hanging with her works. The show invites visitors to experience the fascinating effect of this pioneering painter in dialog with three outstanding contemporary abstract positions.

This extraordinary exhibition experience once again provides an insight into the world's largest private collection of Frankenthaler's works and at the same time opens up diverse encounters with contemporary abstract painting from Germany and Switzerland. The artists themselves have selected the works in order to illustrate strong formal references, thematic connections or direct juxtapositions with their own art in dialog with Frankenthaler. In this way, dealing with Frankenthaler is both a challenge and a confirmation of their own work or a conceptual basis for new artistic perspectives.

Each of the three artists occupies one room. The central exhibition area of this presentation is room three - the highest room in the museum with a ceiling height of 14 meters - where all four positions meet.
