Retrospective exhibition at the Museum Abteiberg.
From July 3 till October 3, 2011.After the exhibitions at the WIELS in Brussels and The Kunstverein in Hamburg it is now the Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach that presents this summer a wide comprehensive retrospective show of Evelyne Axell’s works; the largest exhibition ever to be held outside Belgium.
More than sixty works are shown covering the entire creative period of Evelyne Axell from 1964 till 1972 including the different techniques and styles she used, from oil on canvas to enamel on Plexiglas. This show also includes some special objects revisited by the artist as well as a large number of drawings, paintings projects and yet unseen photos of herself that she used as model for her creations.
Many private collectors and museums accepted to lend works that have not been seen by the public for many years.
