Manfred Mohr was one of the first painters in the 20th century to have begun using computer technology to manifest his artistic vision.
The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris exhibited his computer-generated pictures in a solo-exhibition as early as 1971. The ZKM has dedicated a retrospective to Manfred Mohr on the occasion of his 75th birthday, which, in addition to his works, also presents numerous documents from his private archive for the first time.

Curator: Margit Rosen
