Die Präsentation
The show focuses, in particular, on artistic dialogue between the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, who will celebrate his 90th birthday in 2025, and the German painter Gerhard Richter. The title ‘Spiegel im Spiegel’ is a reference to Arvo Pärt‘s work of the same name, whose compositional structure is reflected in the dramaturgy of the exhibition: Arvo Pärt‘s music and Gerhard Richter‘s painting provide insights into the ties between the two countries and illustrate the cultural interaction, affinities and ruptures between Estonia and Germany.
