24 January 2016 to 16 may 2016
With the advent of pop art in America are not only subjects of everyday life such as comics, flags or Soup cans art worthy. The question of the original and genius cult discusses in terms of succession Marcel Duchamp - - and causes among other things, that artists began their screen prints, but also objects as ars multiple, en masse as masterpieces to hang up. Art for everyone is the motto, which leads to an own expression and unconventional forms.
The Wilhelm-Hack-Museum in Ludwigshafen is home to a magnificent collection of works of the 1960s and 70's with the collection of the Düsseldorf lawyer Heinz Beck. The special characteristics of this collection lies in Beck's penchant for editions and multiples, which impressively reflects exactly the desire of the time for a democratized art. First shows the LUDWIG GALERIE Schloss Oberhausen a selection of American pop art, which shows the special approach, not only a central figure such as Andy Warhol,. Editions provide insights into artists friendships and art market behavior such as 7 in a box by 1966 or ten from leo castelli from 1967-68.

THE GOOD WAY TO HEAVEN
Late medieval images to right die
The painting Ars moriendi bene from the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig
21 February to 8 may 2016
The exhibition is devoted to an important piece from the collection of Peter and Irene Ludwig in cooperation with the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum Aachen again. The oak table, around 1475, Calvary is attributed to the master of the Sinziger, dealing with rare for the Panel painting of the ars moriendi bene, the central in the middle ages question of right dying.
For the first time this Board is now a stylistic and iconographic examined and classified in the subject area of good dying and the representation of the design (intercession of the Virgin Mary and Christ), which are connected to each other in this picture. More valuable loans such as the unique ars moriendiblock book of the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz or the representation of the poor Lazarus from the collection marks Thomée complement this concentrated a space show with additional loans from the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum.
A parallel presentation of the exhibition American pop art shows the first amazing appearing content links. The banners of such medieval tables, transcribed for the first time for this show, are the precursors of the typical comic balloons. Also, they offer an orientation by reading order and connection to the characters. Roy Lichtenstein achievements are without not thinking this. And the theme of death is in the pop art Central, just think of Andy Warhol's death and disasterseries.

THIS IS HOWEVER NOT AN ART!
Comics and cartoons between Shit Happens, NICHTLUSTIG and Beautiful Daughters
20 September 2015 - 17 January 2016
Three of the most prominent German comic book and cartoon artists are guests in the LUDWIG Gallery. Ralph Ruthe, Joscha Sauer and Flix (Felix Görmann) decisively determine the scene of the German comics and cartoons for years and their works clearly show the transitions and limits of the medium.
Ralph Ruthe is well-known for his daily disasters, which happen his protagonists in shit happens. The triad of giraffe, rhinoceros and koala bear - neck, nose, ears - deals with the many small mishaps which are the resuluts of too distinct parts of the body. A rich repertoire of the animal world - whether cow, hamster, vulture, or lion - experience predicaments. Tree and death in cartoons stand out particularly as figures. Ruthe working heavily with the moving image for some time. He produces animated films from his cartoon, which he provides himself congenially with voices, sound and music. Currently he is working on a stage program, with which he is touring through Germany during the exhibition. Here, the boundaries of the drawn image be far left.
NICHTLUSTIG from Joscha Sauer has become the cult and trademark. A widespread personal crowded his cartoons. In addition to the suicidal lemmings (for which he has decided also in the theme chosen for this exhibition as an Alter Ego ) the yetis or Mr Riebmann, resident in a wall, find as well attention as death and his poodle, Fäkalini, Ninja, aliens or scientists Wilson and Pickett. Also for Sauer, the moving image plays an increasingly important role, he is currently working on an animated series. All three artist make available new cartoons and comics on their Web pages.
So Flix provides little everyday situations under the title hero days, arranged mostly in four boxes, in the network. Ruthe and Sauer have chosen the cartoon, so the frame, as their medium, Flix is extensive and sometimes literature-based comics. Faust or Don Quijote be retold here highly original. Hero debut, already showed the strong influence of his stories with the own life and experience. The beautiful daughters who appear currently to the exhibition as a book, play as observations of daily life like many of his other stories. And Ferdinand the reporter dog he gives appearance and embossed regularly in DEIN SPIEGEL, while Ralph Ruthe writes the stories. A very instructive and amusing matter. Is it art? Find out for yourself!
