James Frazer Stirling – Notes from the Archive. Crisis of Modernism. 1st October, 2011 – 15th January, 2012

James Frazer Stirling (1924–1992) is regarded as one of the most influential and innovative architects of the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart is the first comprehensive presentation dedicated to his work in Germany. Models, plans, sketches, photographs and a wide range of previously unpublished archival material cast a fresh light on James Stirling. James Stirling’s masterpiece – the Neue Staatsgalerie – has long been recognised as a classic of museum architecture. As the largest exhibit of the presentation, it can be explored in a multitude of ways. During the exhibition the Stirlingwalk invites you to explore the architecture of the Staatsgalerie and the surrounding buildings by Stirling via QR-codes.
