Where:
Alte Pinakothek
Transit Info:
Tram 27 or 28 to Pinakotheken
StadtBus 100 to Pinakotheken
Meeting Point: Lobby of Alte Pinakothek
Description:
An opportunity to visit the major Canaletto exhibition being mounted in the Alte
Pinakothek this autumn. The exhibition runs from 17 October 2014 until 18 January
2015.
With around 80 loans from public and private collections in Europe and the USA, this
exhibition will be the first comprehensive show of Canaletto’s work in Germany for
almost 50 years and will provide a unique opportunity to accompany the Venetian painter
on his journey through 18th-century Europe.
The exhibition shows Canaletto’s pictures of Munich for the first time within the context
of exemplary paintings and drawings from all his creative phases. Views of royal cities,
palaces and villas will form the focus of attention and bring to life the places where
Canaletto worked – from Venice and Rome to Dresden, Vienna and Warsaw.
John Langton will guide GEA groups visiting the exhibition and has arranged times listed
above.
The numbers for each group will be strictly controlled and will be limited to 15 persons
on each occasion. There will therefore be a need for anyone wishing to join one of the
sessions to register directly with John, and only by email to ensure that there is an
opportunity for everyone to see the works displayed.
Each person will receive, after 12th October an acknowledgment and, in the event that no
places are available for your preferred date, you will be offered an alternative if possible.
Until 11th October John will be in Greece but applications will handled upon his return on
a strictly “first come first served basis.”

5 Pictures *SPECIAL*: Richard Avedon
When:
Thu 16 Oct, 18:00 – 19:15
Where:
Museum Brandhorst
Transit Info:
Tram 27 or 28 to Pinakotheken
StadtBus 100 Ostbahnhof to Pinakotheken + 7 min. walk
StadtBus 100 Hauptbahnhof to Maxvorstadt (Sammlung Brandhorst)
Meeting Point: Lobby of the Museum Brandhorst at 17:45
Description:
Richard Avedon (1923–2004) is considered one of the most important and influential
fashion photographers of the second half of the 20th century. This sufficiently well known
section of his oeuvre, however, does not form part of the present project at the Museum
Brandhorst. The images selected for this focus on a different aspect of his work.
Politically enlightened and liberally minded, Avedon made four large photographic
murals from the end of the 1960s onwards, in the face of the social and political upheaval
and change in the USA, that are of exceptional importance in the history of this medium.
Three of these four works by Avedon are being shown in the Museum Brandhorst. The
murals will be complemented by three other groups of works, comprising a selection of
striking portraits made from the ’50s onwards. The broad spectrum of the sitters ranges
from Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe to Francis Bacon, Truman Capote and Bob
Dylan, as well as encompassing Samuel Beckett, Ezra Pound, Marcel Duchamp and
Buster Keaton. There is a special reason why the Museum Brandhorst is staging this
project. This is the first time that these works by Avedon belonging to the Udo and Anette
Brandhorst Foundation are being shown to the public. Apart from the mural Mission
Council, there are more than thirty portraits and photos from the “In the American West”
series. Loans from private collections are also to be shown, while all other works come
from the Richard Avedon Foundation, New York.
Registration:
Required. Numbers are limited to 15 persons and you will need to register with me
to ensure a place. I regret that anyone not pre-registered will be disappointed in not
being able to join our group. A short email will suffice and I will confirm places after
my return from Greece on 12 October.
Admission:
7 € (concessions 5 €). There is no charge for the tour.
