Located somewhere between painting and sculpture, the relief is bound to the wall surface, often projecting far into the room. Artists have used and continue to use it to experiment and take up independent positions. Even in antiquity, reliefs were painted to make them look more plastic. Artists in the 19th century designed them in several colours by painting the material before the work or the finished object, or by selecting materials with a special colourfulness.
With around 130 exhibits by over 100 artists from Europe and the USA, the exhibition takes a look at the forms of relief from 1800 to the 1960s in twelve thematic chapters.
