The artist couple Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy are presenting works from their private collection in Zwickau. Under the title "Perlmutt II", 25 small and large-format works by both painters will be shown in the rooms of the "Freunde Aktueller Kunst" association until June 19. This also includes the work "Anlage", which they created together in 2020.
The collection includes paintings that they gave to each other as gifts or bought back on the art market, the couple explained at the opening of the show. What do they look for when choosing? "What we both like," says Loy.
"Mother-of-pearl" is what they call their collection. Rauch draws the comparison to a shell, the inside of which shimmers wonderfully and in which a pearl is created when a grain of sand falls into it. An artist also creates something beautiful with color and uses it to refine something, adds Loy.
