Group exhibition Melting Sands at Sammlung Philara
Opening: Sunday, 2025/10/18, 4 pm I Sammlung Philara, Düsseldorf /DE
To mark the 150th anniversary of the former Lennarz Glass factory, whose converted premises have housed the Philara Collection since 2016, the private collection is presenting Melting Sands, a comprehensive exhibition on glass in contemporary art. It explores the compatibility of structure and chaos and focuses on collectivity and international collaboration—all characteristics of glass and its manufacture.
