This week, let’s pay a visit to Munich. The German city has a well-earned reputation as a major art hub, and currently it offers a range of gallery and museum exhibitions that, while focusing on canonical artists, still manage to defy expectations.

Galerie Thomas Modern, for instance, currently boasts a solo show of Peter Halley, but rather than focus on his best-known “prison cell” paintings, it instead presents a little-known series of gouache studies that the artist completed back in 1977–1978. The end result is a fresh look at a painter you might think you know very well. Similarly, Galerie Klüser presents some Andy Warhol works that—while unmistakably Warholian—you might not know already. In particular, the in memoriam portrait of Joseph Beuys manages to be a moving tribute within the Pop legend’s oeuvre. You also might enjoy “New Paintings & Objects,” the exhibition of Robert Rudigier’s formal abstraction at arToxin, which accomplishes the tricky thing of straddling painting and sculpture rather deftly. Lastly, we’d be remiss not to point out the lovely Paul Klee survey at the Pinakothek Moderne, which highlights the conceptual underpinnings that defined Klee’s diverse practice.

But that’s not all. You’ve also got a range of fresh contemporary talent on view, so if you’re in the mood to discover something new, Munich has got you covered. Find artnet’s full list of picks below, and go and see them for yourself—you might find yourself surprised by what you see.
