In spring 2025, the Kunstpalast is dedicating a comprehensive exhibition to the manifold
ideas of what it means to have, become or be a mother. The focus is on the societal
expectations that have always influenced motherhood and are reflected in art, culture and
everyday life. The approximately 120 works on display from the fourteenth century to the
present day create a panorama that involves everyone, including fathers and those without
children of their own.
In addition to painting, sculpture, video installations and photography, the broad spectrum
of the show also encompasses everyday objects as well as music and commercial images.
Connections between the works reveal continuities, but also the versatility of depictions of
mothers, which are continuously being appropriated, reinterpreted, disputed and celebrated.
Curators: Linda Conze, Westrey Page, Anna Christina Schütz, Kunstpalast

MAMAPHONE
Motherhood has many facets – and we want to hear your voice. We are looking for your voice for the ‘MAMA’ exhibition, which explores the many aspects of motherhood in pop, art and culture.
We are asking questions about motherhood, to which you can respond with a voice message. Your answers will become part of a large spatial installation that reflects the diversity of the topic and the experiences associated with it.
Whether you are a mother yourself, had a mother figure or simply want to share your perspective – we look forward to receiving your submissions!
Let’s paint a polyphonic picture of motherhood together.
You can find the conditions of participation here.
We Are interested in:
- What do you see in your mind’s eye when you hear the word MAMA?
Who do you have maternal feelings for? Tell us the story.
Who cares for you? Tell us the story.
What is the funniest memory you have of your child / mum?
What can motherhood mean in the future?

Discover our new exhibition in the Spot On Room of our collection!
Whether short or long, curly, frizzy or straight, tousled, blow-dried or braided: The way that hair is styled tells us something about social status and belonging to societal groups. Cuts and hairdos expose notions of gender and body image of their time. They reflect norms and are an expression of political protest and resistance.
Female body hair is at the centre of this cabinet exhibition, which presents works of painting, photography, graphic art and design from the 16th century to the present day. The spectrum ranges from Renaissance goddesses to a mobile drying bonnet and a body with artificial pubic hair. Art’s view of the female body and the depiction of its hair over the centuries bear witness to ideals of beauty, forms of desire and everyday grooming routines. Dedicated to the hairy stories in the Kunstpalast collection, “Hairytales” opens up perspectives on this intimate, symbolic material.
Curator: Ellen Haak, Research assistant in the photography collection at the Kunstpalast.

Fragrant blossoms, fresh greenery and blossoming branches – just in time for the start of spring and for a short time only, an extraordinary presentation will be on show at the Kunstpalast for the first time from 12 April!
11 Düsseldorf florists will be interpreting the artworks from the recently reopened collection tour. They will complement them with their own ephemeral sculpture – a creative flower arrangement. The resulting new poetic spaces invite visitors to view nature in a different context and to take a surprising new look at art.
Numerous renowned florists responded to the Kunstpalast’s call to engage with the museum’s collection and create floral interpretations of individual works. They had a completely free hand in selecting the works and designing the corresponding floral arrangements.

Blumenhaus am Hofgarten – Tino Hoogterp

DIE KLEINE is the closing exhibition of the art competition for primary schools, which will be held for the fifth time in 2024. Open to all primary schools in Düsseldorf and the surrounding region, the competition aims to unleash the creativity of young schoolchildren and give them the opportunity to experience the museum as an enriching extracurricular learning space.

Visitors have the opportunity to purchase works directly on site, bypassing the gallery. The selection of participating artists is made each year by a rotating jury from a pool of numerous applications. Featured works include those in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation and video.

Colour has always been an essential component of art. In the mid-20th century, painters moved it to centre stage in a new way and focused on colour as a pictorial subject in its own right. Displaying over 80 paintings and prints by artists of American and German colour field painting such as Gene Davis, Frank Stella, Winfred Gaul and Barbara Herbert, the exhibition “Rush of colour” illustrates this development. The selection of works ranges from the first tendencies at the beginning of the 20th century through the core phase in the 1950s and 1960s to current positions that approach the subject. What sensations are triggered by colour? How does it unfold its effect, even beyond the canvas? The show, compiled from the Kemp Collection and supplemented by works from the Kunstpalast collection, provides a comprehensive view of the diversity of colour field painting.
The exhibition comprises some 70 works, drawn primarily from the Kemp Collection Foundation, complemented by additional pieces from the Kunstpalast collection.

When do you want to visit the exhibition?
Many of the selected exhibits are hidden treasures: pieces from private collections that have rarely – if ever – been shown in public before. As part of the most comprehensive Gerhard Richter exhibition in Germany for over ten years, these works provide an insight into the entire spectrum of his art – from his beginnings in the early 1960s to more recent times.
The exhibition focuses on the Rhineland as the perfect setting for the evolution of Gerhard Richter’s oeuvre following his move from Dresden in 1961. It was here that he met other like-minded artists such as Sigmar Polke and Günther Uecker, role models and provocative figures like Joseph Beuys, and eventually the curious and enterprising community of collectors that had formed around the emerging galleries in Düsseldorf and Cologne.
The exhibits on display were acquired by enthusiastic collectors, as well as by major businesses from the 1980s onwards, and were also sometimes exchanged with fellow artists. Over time, many of the works have been passed down to the younger generation, who are actively keeping the tradition of collecting alive in the Rhineland today.
With around 120 works, the exhibition provides an overview of Richter’s entire oeuvre from the early 1960s to the present day. The emphasis is on painting: more than 80 works lead visitors on a journey from Richter’s first black and white photo paintings, austere colour charts and grey pictures to monumental landscapes and soft, free abstractions, culminating in his final non-representational images from 2017. Drawings, watercolours, photographs, sculptures and the only artist film made by Richter himself all attest to the great richness of the collections here in the Rhineland and lend the exhibition a retrospective dimension.
The exhibition is curated by Gerhard Richter expert Markus Heinzelmann, Professor of Museum Practice at Ruhr University Bochum.
The show is supported by the Gerhard Richter Archive.

The public tours take place on Thursdays at 6 pm, Fridays at 4.45 pm and Sundays at 12 noon. We also offer guided tours in eight different languages, as well as a guided tour for blind and visually impaired people. The respective dates can be found in the calendar.
