Europe Gears Up to Showcase Top Artists in 2008
Cities across Europe are to host a range of exceptional exhibitions in the new year. Artists will include Man Ray, Gerhard Richter, Alberto Giacometti and Paul Cezanne, among many others.Those who thought the Frenchman Victor Hugo was merely a writer will have to think again. Hugo enthusiasts will be able to view 80 of the graphic artist's works on paper beginning in mid-May in Weimar. The Louisiana Museum near Copenhagen, Denmark will explore a visual dialogue between the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti and French post-impressionist painter Paul Cezanne in February.As of May, the Kunsthalle in Rostock, Germany will be showing 600 works by artists from German expressionist sculptor Ernst Barlach to German-American caricaturist and painter Lyonel Feininger. The works were stolen by the Nazis from their owners, with some of them remaining unclaimed to this day. The city of Rostock said it would "openly" work with any potential heirs who contacted the museum.
