The free-spirited environment surrounding the “Cool School” group, which established itself in Los Angeles from the late 1950s onward, was a melting pot of artistic (material) experiments, shaped by Beat literature. In this vibrant network on the California coast, an inspiring cross-disciplinary dialogue between art and architecture developed.<\/p>

The exhibition at Marta Herford, a unique architectural sculpture by Frank Gehry, brings together these impulses and opens up connections to iconic works of American postwar art as well as subsequent generations from this context.<\/p>

Additional content and further information on the exhibited works and artists are available in the accompanying exhibition app: https:\/\/app.interkit.marta-herford.de\/app\/t8vBWctGdzteafL2q\/<\/a>.<\/p>

A catalog in German and English, edited by Marta Herford, will be published to accompany the exhibition. Spanning 192 pages, the publication brings together essays by Hunter Drohojowska-Philp, Sylvia Lavin, and Ann Kristin Kreisel, as well as two interviews: one with Larry Bell by Marcus Herse and another with Wilhelm Sch\u00fcrmann by Kathleen Rahn. It includes a foreword by the director of Marta Herford, more than 200 illustrations, historical documents, and original quotations by Frank Gehry. The hardcover book (ISBN 978-3-7533-1042-8) is published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz K\u00f6nig. The price is 37 euros at the Marta Shop during the exhibition and 42 euros afterward.
