Block’s career began in 1964 in West Berlin, where he opened his gallery with the legendary show Neodada, Pop, Décollage, Kapitalistischer Realismus, presenting at the time unknown artists such as Joseph Beuys, Nam June Paik, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter. The LENTOS presents works of art and favorite pieces from the curatorial work of René Block since 1964 as well as materials, documents, photographs and films from his archive. Additionally on show, there are works of art created on the occasion of numerous exhibition projects.
