Paintings by BCB Studio Arts Professor John Kleckner presented in exhibition "WHERE ARE WE NOW: Highlights of the Miettinen Collection" in the Philara Collection, Düsseldorf

Paintings by BCB Studio Arts Professor John Kleckner will be included in the group exhibition, "WHERE ARE WE NOW: Highlights of the Miettinen Collection" in the Philara Collection in Düsseldorf. The exhibition opens to the public on June 29, 2025 from 2-6pm. It remains on view at the Sammlung Philara, Düsseldorf until September 21, 2025.

Sammlung Philara describes the exhibition as providing "a unique overview of the Miettinen Collection, presented here for the first time in such a comprehensive form. The show, which has taken over all the exhibition spaces at the Philara Collection and features around 150 works by more than 80 artists, opens in the spacious entrance hall with one of Collection’s core themes, landscape and nature. This thematic strand highlights the origins of the collection, founded by Timo Miettinen and his mother with a strong focus on Finnish landscape painting of the 19th and 20th centuries. Since 2004, Timo Miettinen has deliberately expanded the collection to include works of international contemporary art, which are a central focus of the exhibition. The works on view span a period from the 1980s to the present day, offering a broadly based insight into the multilayered complexity of the collection."
