McNay Art Museum presents stellar German
exibit
Christina Acosta | 15 de Febrero de 2016
Art is an expression that tell a story
about a time dear to the artist’s heart—
At the McNay, there is a new exhibit that
dedicates the full story of a powerful
country.
This week, the museum presented 84
paintings of the most significant
European art created by both masters
and emerging artists in “Made in
Germany: Contemporary Art from the
Rubell Family Collection.” In fact, the
McNay is the only venue that has
scheduled to host the seminal exhibition,
which is the first presentation of the
Rubell Family Collection’s acclaimed
German holdings.
“Made in Germany: Contemporary Art Ampliar
from the Rubell Family Collection” is
now on display at the McNay Art Museum where
you can find a painting called St. Ludgeru by
Matthias Wischer. (Photo, Matthias Weischer)
For the past 35 years, German art has
gone through a futile period, during
which large-scale works, particularly large-scale photographs, have become
contemporary and widespread. The exhibit covers many German paintings,
sculptures, photographs and works on paper.
Visitors will be able to admire the established works of famous artists like Anselm
Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, and Gerhard Richter; sculptors Katarina Fritsch and Thomas
Schutte; photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, Thomas Demand and Thomas Ruff;
and fresh coming painters Kerstin Bratsch and David Ostrowski.
“At the McNay, we have a preeminent concentration of modern European art, but this
presentation is our first exhibition of important art from the last few decades. It is

also worth noting that in the late 1800s, Germans made up approximately one-third
of the population here in Bexar County,” discussed Chief Curator/Curator of
Contemporary Art René Paul Barilleaux. “In those respects, ‘Made in Germany’ is
directly linked both to one of the McNay’s foremost focuses and to the history of our
wider San Antonio community.”
Barilleaux organized the exhibition to reflect the perspective of the Rubell Family
Collection. It is one of the world’s largest privately owned contemporary art
collections established in 1964.
The Rubell Family has been the key collectors of German art, and there has been no
presentation of it until the McNay decided to put it on display. Barilleaux took his time
to not only filter the works solely through an encyclopedic lens, but to offer
immediate insights into how German Art has engaged collectors in recent years.
The near-chronological presentation results in a compelling narrative that reveals how
individual artists first gained attention; the dynamic between students, teachers and
peers; and the ongoing dialogue created as younger artists’ reflect from the giants
who proceed them.
For Juan Roselione-Valdez, director of the Rubell Family Collection/Contemporary Arts
Foundation, it was an honor to put these works on display and to work alongside
Barilleaux. Roselione believe it was time for the works to be seen.
“The foundation of the Rubell’s collection is built on contemporary art made in
America and Germany, and this exhibition is the first in-depth presentation for the
latter,” said Roselione-Valdez. “For the last 40 years, Germany has been a wellspring
for American artists, curators and collectors. Thanks to the McNay, we are able to
focus on and share these works with a greatly expanded audience in a world class
museum.”
Ultimately, the “Made in Germany” exhibit will display art that is proactive and often
explored the German social consciousness through narrative imagery and elements
drawn from the real world. The McNay would like their audience to get a full grip on
the works by including several interactive events: a conversation between Barilleaux
and the Rubells, a Sunday afternoon family activity, a contemporary German film
series, and a program connecting German and Mexican cultures around Polka and
Conjunto music.
Throughout the exhibits, this will give the audience a lens through an exhibit that was
previously hidden and is now ready to be displayed.
“Made in Germany: Contemporary Art from the Rubell Family Collection” was unveiled
on Feb. 10 and will be on display till April 24. Visit http://www.mcnayart.org for more
information about the exhibit including hours and directions
