The exhibition ‘Futurism & Europe. The aesthetics of a new world’ at the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo (April 29 – September 3, 2023) announces itself as an absolute top European exhibition. The first major exhibition on Futurism after ‘Italian Futurism, 1909-1944: Reconstruction the Universe’ in New York in 2014 – with 600,000 visitors, the most visited exhibition in the history of the Guggenheim Museum.
Born in 1909, Italian Futurism strives for a radical rejuvenation of culture, expressing the dynamism of modern society. A search for a new all-encompassing aesthetic ideal image in all its manifestations: painting, architecture, theatre, fashion, film, sculpture, interior, design, publicity, graphics, in short, a ‘total art’ in all aspects of daily life.
The exhibition and the book examine and show for the first time the major influence of Futurism on the most important avant-garde movements in Europe during the interwar period: Bauhaus in Germany, L’Esprit Nouveau in France, Russian Constructivism and De Stijl in the Netherlands.
With contributions from 17 international authors, specialists from scientific institutions and universities worldwide.
