Art Exhibition Katharina Grosse on Saturday, November 22, 2025
Dear Members and Guests,
Please join us on Saturday, November 22, at the Kunstgebäude downtown Stuttgart for a guided tour of the art exhibit
„Katharina Grosse – The Sprayed Dear“
Katharina Grosse is one of the most significant contemporary artists. For the Great State Exhibition Baden-Wuerttemberg 2025, she has engaged deeply with the architecture of the iconic central building on the Schlossplatz, transforming it into a vibrant, colour-saturated spatial experience.
The newly produced aluminum sculpture “The Sprayed Dear” forms the highlight of the exhibition. With this title, the artist refers to the landmark of this extraordinary exhibition space and plays on the English word “deer” for deer and the similarly sounding English term “dear” for something dear.
