MUNICH.- CURVATUREROMANCE is the first museum presentation of the large-format metal sculptures completed during the last four years by the American artist John Chamberlain (b.1927). The show also marks the start of the AMERICAN SUMMER program in the Pinakothek der Moderne, on view from July 7th through October 23rd. As early as the late-1950s Chamberlain created a sculpture for the first time that made use of colored steel parts from a car that was in the backyard of his friend Larry Rivers. He thereby found his Carrara – a working material that was to become as natural for Chamberlain, as marble was for sculptors of the Renaissance.
