The exhibition "Apollo to Apollo" "THE FUTURE MEETS THE PAST IN THE PRESENT" is an exciting journey into art and the essence of beauty in the flow of time. We go back 2300 years into the PAST to the ancient Western civilizations (Greeks, Celts, Romans) to discover a fascinating miniature art form whose impressive details and preservation remain a mystery to this day. Among some of these ancient miniature artworks, we find the origin and birth of the popular heart symbol we all know today; we celebrate this by beginning our exhibition on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2024.
The journey continues: "Apollo to Apollo" takes us back to the last four hundred years of our art history and illustrates how ancient miniature art has inspired many famous contemporary artists and philosophers. "Apollo to Apollo" explores the revitalization of ancient art in our PRESENT with the extraordinary works of Rama King Nash and other modern artists, and stands for the protection of our values, the beauty and the art for our FUTURE. The exhibition features ancient miniature artworks, paintings, drawings, sculptures, jewelry and books that take us on a fascinating journey through time.
Die Ausstellung „Apollo zu Apollo“ „DIE ZUKUNFT TRIFFT DIE VERGANGENHEIT IN DER GEGENWART“ ist eine spannende Reise in die Kunst und die Essenz der Schönheit im Fluss der Zeit. Wir begeben uns in die VERGANGENHEIT, 2300 Jahre zurück, zu den alten westlichen Zivilisationen (Griechen, Kelten, Römer), um eine faszinierende Kunstform im Miniaturformat zu entdecken, deren beeindruckende Details und deren Erhalt bis in unsere Tage ein Rätsel sind. Unter einigen dieser antiken Miniaturkunstwerke finden wir den Ursprung und die Geburt des beliebten Herzsymbols, das wir heute alle kennen; wir feiern dies mit dem Beginn unserer Ausstellung am Valentinstag, dem 14. Februar 2024.
Die Reise geht weiter: "Apollo to Apollo" führt uns zurück in die letzten vierhundert Jahre unserer Kunstgeschichte und zeigt, wie die antike Miniaturkunst viele berühmte zeitgenössische Künstler und Philosophen inspiriert hat. "Apollo to Apollo" erforscht die Wiederbelebung der antiken Kunst in unserer GEGENWART mit den außergewöhnlichen Werken von Rama King Nash und anderen modernen Künstlern und steht für den Erhalt unserer Werte, der Schönheit und der Kunst für unsere ZUKUNFT. Die Ausstellung zeigt antike Miniaturkunstwerke, Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Skulpturen, Schmuckstücke und Bücher, die uns auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Zeit mitnehmen.
The mind-blowing and mysterious life of an art form more than 2300 years ago
The hunt for the divine and eternal beauty
"The book can easily be enjoyed for the art alone since almost every piece included is a true masterpiece of the immortal art form that was ancient art. I do however urge the readers to return to its pages frequently and open their heart to the profound messages from the past that are so vital to our collective future."
