Mandarin Oriental Munich launches Kandinsky Promotion

Mandarin Oriental, Munich has launched a special Kandinsky Package which celebrates “Absolute Abstract”; an extraordinary Wassily Kandinsky’s retrospective taking place at The Lenbachhaus in Munich.

The package, which is available until 22nd February 2009, includes one night’s accommodation in one of Mandarin Oriental, Munich’s recently renovated guestrooms, breakfast in-room or at the hotel’s award winning restaurant Mark’s and tickets for “Absolute Abstract”.

For the first time since 1966, The Lenbachhaus in Munich, is showcasing the entire collection of Wassily Kandinsky’s prints and graphic art. The exhibition, which features over 90 pieces by Kandinsky, has been made possible following a collaboration between The Lenbachhaus in Munich, The Centre Pompidou in Paris and The Guggenheim Museum in New York; who between them, hold the three largest collections of artwork by the world-renowned artist.

Kandinsky was a pioneer of abstract and modernist art, and his artistic innovation blossomed whilst he lived in Munich in the early 20th century. Here he became the co-founder of an important expressionist art movement called “The Blue Rider”. The show “Absolute Abstract” finishes on 22nd February when it moves to Bonn and then to Paris and New York.
