Munich, Germany - Hans Bellmer (1902-1975) is one of the most important and, at the same time, least known of the German Surrealists. To this day, his oeuvre remains surrounded by mystery and taboos. The retrospective in the Pinakothek der Moderne is the first exhibition for over a quarter of a century in Germany to be dedicated to Bellmer’s work and was originally organized by the Centre Pompidou, Paris. It assembles numerous and hitherto unknown drawings from museums and private collections, photographs, paintings, unpublished note pads and sketch books as well as some sculptural objects, among them »La poupée« (»The doll«).
