50 years ago a museum was founded in
Düsseldorf that now boasts a unique selection of works from the 20th
and 21st centuries that are exhibited in two locations (K20 und
K21). Works by German Expressionists such as Wassily Kandinsky and paintings by
Pablo Picasso and Jackson Pollock are among the absolute highlights, as are
installations by Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik. In addition to these works
that have long since become icons of modern art are many other exceptional
examples of classical Modernist art, American art since 1945 and major spatial
installations, photographs and film and video works by contemporary artists.
