Stephan Melzl at Pinakothek der Moderne: What to Expect from MIX & MATCH
Art enthusiasts following the roster of the Nicolas Krupp Gallery can find works by artist Stephan Melzl featured in a major long-term exhibition outside Basel. The artist is part of the extensive group showcase MIX & MATCH at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany, marking the institution's 20th anniversary.
Exploring MIX & MATCH in Munich
Running through August 30, 2026, the anniversary presentation brings together roughly 350 works and series spanning 120 years of art history across 25 dedicated galleries. The curatorial team behind the Sammlung Moderne Kunst has completely rehung the institution's collection, departing from traditional chronological frameworks in favor of thematic galleries and unconventional pairings that cross media boundaries, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, and printmaking.
The selection connects historical pieces with modern creations to address pressing contemporary themes such as migration, community, the environment, work, and conflict. Alongside these modern debates, the galleries also revisit traditional art-historical genres and subjects like the self-portrait, the nude, the forest, and the spiritual.
Visitors planning a trip to Munich can explore this expansive survey of modern and contemporary art through Pinakothek der Moderne.
