Mudam Luxembourg presents Radio Luxembourg: Echoes across borders. New Collection Display, a dynamic exhibition that features multiple generations of women artists born in Europe and the United States between 1930 and 1991. Bringing together works which recently joined the collection thanks to the generosity of German collectors Gaby and Wilhelm Schürmann with the support of the members of the Cercle des collectionneurs du Mudam Luxembourg, alongside existing pieces, this presentation strengthens the role of women artists within the museum’s collection.
Notable works include Defense of Necessity (2003) by Andrea Bowers and Stairway (2010) by Monika Sosnowska, both of which stand as significant milestones in the artists’ careers. Additional highlights include works by Carine Krecké, Annette Kelm, Zoe Leonard, Hendl Helen Mirra, Henrike Naumann and Diana Thater, among others.
Another focal point is Nude Wing (2011), a monumental work by British artist Fiona Banner aka The Vanity Press, installed in the museum’s Grand Hall until 24 August. Engaging in dialogue with Mudam’s iconic architecture by I.M. Pei, Banner transforms military aircraft components into sculptural forms that interrogate the tension between technological beauty and destructive power.
