Emil Schumacher Museum | Hagen

From February 8 to August 9 2026, the Emil Schumacher Museum in Hagen, in cooperation with the Geiger Archive in Munich, is honouring the painter Rupprecht Geiger with a major solo exhibition comprising around 70 works from all phases of the artist's career.

With this comprehensive exhibition of Rupprecht Geiger's work, the Emil Schumacher Museum is dedicating itself to one of the most important representatives of colour field painting in Europe and creating an indirect encounter between the two artists, Geiger and Schumacher, who were friends, that has never been seen before. Two painters, two paths of non-representational art after 1945, which appear almost like opposite poles: on the one hand, expressive gestures, on the other, the clarity of pure colour.
