About the exhibition
Daniel Spoerri (1930–2024) is one of the most important representatives of object art. His assemblages and collages consisting of everyday objects are the result of his passionate collecting of curious found objects. On four floors, the exhibition I LOVE CONTRADICTIONS in the Falckenberg Collection at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg brings together an overview of the diverse work of the recently deceased artist, who would have turned 95 this year.
In dialog with works from the German and US Counter Culture of the Falckenberg Collection, the exhibition expands the view of the interdisciplinary artist. It is the last exhibition for which the idea was developed in consultation with Harald Falckenberg.
