SELMA SELMAN: FLOWERS OF LIFE
The Schirn is dedicating a major solo exhibition to Selma Selman, presenting specially developed new works. The artist advanced confidently and vigorously into the international art world just a few years ago, describing herself as “the world’s most dangerous artist.” Selman’s art describes impressively, and through a variety of media, autobiographical experiences of discrimination, violence, patriarchy, and sexism.

CASABLANCA ART SCHOOL: A POSTCOLONIAL AVANT-GARDE 1962–1987
Just a few years after Morocco gained independence in 1956, a vibrant center of cultural renewal developed in Casablanca. With the exhibition the Schirn is presenting the unique and influential work of of this innovative school in a first major exhibition, one that is long overdue.
An exhibition organized by Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, Tate St Ives, and Sharjah Art Foundation
OCTOBER 11, 2024 — JANUARY 19, 2025
CAROL RAMA
The Schirn is showing the first comprehensive survey exhibition in Germany of Carol Rama with works from all phases of her remarkable oeuvre. Sexuality, passion, disease, death— the Turin-based Italian artist dedicated her art to the great human themes and elemental experiences. She is one of the outstanding artists of the modern age who achieved fame late in life. She remained independent of schools and artistic groupings and created an unconventional and yet highly personal body of work over the course of about sixty years.
NOVEMBER 8, 2024 – FEBRUARY 9, 2025
HANS HAACKE
Hans Haacke has shaped “political art” to a greater extent than any other artist of his generation. Keen criticism of institutions, political awareness, and an uncompromising defense of democratic principles to the point of activism all characterize his approach. In a wide-ranging retrospective, the Schirn will be examining Haacke’s influential oeuvre from 1959 to the present day. With some 70 paintings, objects, photographs, and installations, the exhibition demonstrates how Haacke became one of the most important political artists on the international art stage.
An exhibition organized by Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt in cooperation with Belvedere, Vienna.
