    The Menil Collection presents a Gallery Talk: A Conversation with Isabel Schulz and Josef Helfenstein, Friday, October 22, 2010, 7:00pm.  In conjunction with the exhibition Kurt Schwitters: Color and Collage, on view October 22, 2010 through January 30, 2011.

    Isabel Schulz, executive director of the Kurt and Ernst Schwitters Collection, is guest curator, with Menil Collection director Josef Helfenstein, of this first representative overview of the work of Kurt Schwitters (1887 - 1948) since his 1985 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art.

    With more than 100 assemblages, reliefs, sculptures, and collages, and the reconstruction of his Merzbau - a room-sized walk-in sculpture made of found materials, and destroyed in 1943 - the exhibition makes clear why Schwitters has remained one of the most influential figures of the international avant-garde.

    Isabel Schulz is also curator of the Kurt Schwitters Archive at the Sprengel Museum in Hannover, Germany.
