Kunsthalle Praha has opened a dual exhibition, "Anna-Eva Bergman & Hans Hartung: And We’ll Never Be Parted," reuniting the two artists in art as they were in life. The show traces their youthful infatuation, creative partnership, divorce, and reunion, highlighting Bergman's neglected contributions to abstract art inspired by nature and Hartung's prominence in the Art Informel movement. Featuring paintings, sketches, archival material, and mutual gifts, it is billed as the first major museum exhibition to place the two in dialogue.
This exhibition matters because it corrects a historical imbalance, bringing long-overdue attention to Anna-Eva Bergman's work while contextualizing her relationship with Hartung. By exploring their shared mathematical approaches and separate artistic developments, the show offers fresh insight into mid-20th-century abstraction and the dynamics of a creative partnership that spanned decades. It also underscores the role of the Hartung Bergman Foundation in preserving and promoting both artists' legacies.
