NUDE VISIONS
14.12.2010–30.01.2011
The exhibition Nude Visions invites the observer on a journey through the collection of body images of the Münchner Stadtmuseum.
More than 250 photographs, portfolios with printed nude studies, as well as central examples of the 700 tome stretching library of nudes from the 19th and 20th century are presented in seven chapters from their beginnings until the present day.
»Without doubt, nothing attracts the gaze as much as nudity of the human body.« This 100 year old statement remains true until today. An exhibition of nudes in a museum uses this fact and is a tightrope walk between enlightenment and stimulation of curiosity. At the same time it documents the change of beauty ideals and concepts of morality through time.
