The exhibition Colours and Lines in Motion brings together three abstract artists to foster a dialogue spanning an arc from the mid-twentieth century to the recent past. A concentration on colours, lines and planes along with the radical rejection of any manner of representationalism describe the narrative thread that is shared by Verena Loewensberg, Imran Mir and Anton Stankowski. All three also have in common their personal exchange with the artist and designer Max Bill. Nonetheless, in each case their works testify to a respectively individual vocabulary of abstraction that fuse local cultural influences and biographical circumstances, but also contemporary history.

Pioneering Pakistani artist Imran Mir's groundbreaking work is being showcased at Qatar Museums' landmark exhibition "MANZAR: Art and Architecture from Pakistan 1940s to Today." Known for his bold minimalist and modernist approach, Mir structured his artistic practice around what he called "Papers" on modern art, creating twelve distinct bodies of work that challenged conventional artistic boundaries through experimental use of color and planar fractures. The exhibition, running from November 2024 to January 2025 at the National Museum of Qatar, presents Mir's work alongside other pivotal figures who shaped Pakistan's artistic landscape over the past eight decades.
