Untill January 10th in 2010, work of the Belgian artist Georges Vantongerloo is presented at the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg.

The artist Georges Vantongerloo, born in Antwerp in 1886 and died in Paris in 1965, is one of the pioneers of geometrical abstraction in Europe. His abstract sculptures are well-known. In 1918 Vantongerloo, together with Piet Mondriaan, Theo van Doesburg and others, founded the "Stijl" movement, an artistic group that changed the view on the world during the interbellum. Because of his artistic contributions to the "Stijl" movement, his leading role within the Parisian avant-garde group "Abstraction-Création", and due to his innovative sculptural works after 1945 and his theoretical writings, the museum selected this artist to show his work to the public.
