Cathedral Museum Hildesheim

Beschreibung

The new exhibition focuses on art from 1000-1250 AD, when Hildesheim was a leading cultural and spiritual centre. However, key works from more recent periods are also on display such as, for example, the cathedral's Renaissance choir screen, which dates from around 1540, or the monumental early 17th century tapestry cycle depicting the Artemisia legend. The historical works are juxtaposed with works by contemporary artists such as Bernhard Heiliger, Arnulf Rainer, Gerd Winner or Emil Cimiotti.

This richly illustrated publication provides an overview of the main works in the form of short texts accompanied by mostly new pictures.
