This book is a companion to the ambitious exhibition, The Circle Walked Casually:
An exhibition of works on paper from the Deutsche Bank Collection in dialogue with
works from the Collection of the Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires, staged
by the museum between mid-2014 and early 2015. The exhibition was originally held
at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle in Berlin, where only works from the German
collection were included. On its arrival in Buenos Aires these were joined by more
than twenty works from the Moderno’s collection. Works by such artists as Kurt
Schwitters, Max Beckmann, John Cage, Anna Maria Maiolino, Louise Bourgeois,
Marta Minujín, Gerhard Richter and León Ferrari, along with historic Argentine
artists like Juan del Prete, Eugenia (Yente) Crenovich, Roberto Aisenberg, Alberto
Greco and many others lived side by side in the museum’s galleries, engaging in
dialogue and activating each other in various different ways. Accompanied by
numerous texts and short essays, the publication provides an extensive catalogue
of images and casts light on the exhibition’s playful approach.
‘By combining with physical and intellectual experience, The Circle Walked Casually
provides an extraordinary perspective of the history of one of the world´s most important
collections of drawings made after 1945. At the same time, this project enables us to
experience what drawing can be with all of our senses. In a noel way, Noorthoorn brings
works from various continents and cultures into a complex dialogue and at the same time
offers viewers a lot of room to make their discoveries.’
