Karen Kilimnik in the Kunstverein

For this show the Kunstverein's hall in the old Markthalle has been turned into a manor house. Inside it hangs work from several decades of Karen Kilimnik's career: oil paintings, works on paper and mises-en-scène, her staged room installations.

Kilimnik mixes classical ballet, landscape painting and Old Master traditions with modern life, borrowing from fairy tales, Baroque pictures and newspapers. This is her first institutional survey in Germany in more than 25 years, and you are seeing half of it: a separate companion show opens at Centro Pecci in Prato on 21 November.

No reviews are out yet. The museum calls the work colourful, delicate and enigmatic. The curators, Milan Ther and Sarah Messerschmidt, give a tour on 25 November at 7pm. The Kunstverein is a short walk from Hauptbahnhof, stays open until 9pm on Thursdays, and under-18s get in free.
