Dear media representatives,
Why do so many 20th-century books – hundreds, if not thousands – about philosophy, psychotherapy or critical theory have Paul Klee’s art on the cover? Within the context of the dynamic permanent exhibition Kosmos Klee. The Collection, between 7 June and 14 September 2025 the Zentrum Paul Klee will devote itself to this question.
Paul Klee has established himself as the painter par excellence for philosophers, thinkers and theorists. His works bring to life the verbal world of abstract thought, and visualize concepts such as ‘reason’, ‘revelation’ or ‘risk’ which are difficult to imagine in pictorial terms. Featuring just over 150 books and 27 original drawings and paintings from the collection of the Zentrum Paul Klee, the Fokus exhibition honours the fascinating influence of Klee’s work on the 20th-century imagination.
Chief Curator Fabienne Eggelhöfer is available for tours of the exhibition. If you are interested, please reach out via press@zpk.org.
Please find the press kit for the new Fokus and Kosmos Klee as well as press images in the media section on our website.
Warm regards,
