Fruits promise a variety of delights: their fragrance, the richness of their colors – from lemon yellow to cherry red to apple green – their shapes and textures, and above all, their delicious taste create an irresistible potential for seduction! 

It is no wonder that fruits have played an important role in art and art history for centuries – as quite challenging models in still life, but also as symbols of sensuality and the fall from grace, prosperity and transience, bacchanalian feasts and Christian passion. 

In an opulent exhibition featuring around 100 works from the private collection of Prof. Dr. Rainer Wild, the Kunstmuseum Ahlen presents paintings, drawings, sculptures, and videos by outstanding artists of the 20th and 21st centuries who approach the aesthetics and metaphorical qualities of fruits in various ways. 

Guaranteed to be a delight!
