In 2005, the first Sea Pieces exhibition put together by the Hamburg Kunsthalle aroused so many maritime vocations that several thousand visitors left Germany within the space of a few months. In their mind, at least. This summer the museum is having a second go, this time centered on modern artists: Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, as well as photographers, sculptors, and video artists from the XXth and XXIst centuries. Or how the sea has inspired our contemporaries with its stories of "beautiful women, container ships and monster waves."
