Author Information

Blickachsen is an exhibition of contemporary sculpture and installations by leading as well as promising international artists which takes place throughout the summer every two years in the historical parks of Bad Homburg v.d.Hoehe and other locations throughout the Rhine-Main region. With each new exhibition the specific placing of modern works in this classical setting offers stunning new perspectives on both the works themselves and on the original Blickachsen , or lines of vision , designed for the gardens by the celebrated nineteenth-century landscape artist Peter Joseph Lenne. The rich and ever-changing interplay between landscape and art lies at the heart of this unique series of exhibitions, which is rapidly establishing an international reputation.
