The Aargauer Kunsthaus owns important works of abstract and concrete Swiss art of the classic avant-garde. In this exhibition, they enter into a dialog with works by younger artists who examine abstract-concrete themes, vacillating between conceptual rigor and playful lightness. Superb works by early practitioners of abstract art such as Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Clara Friedrich and Hans Arp are confronted with works by artists currently dealing with non-representative imagery and, in some cases, directly referring to the older generation. This is the first installment of a two-part exhibition to be continued in 2010.
