In the context of the 54th Biennale di Venezia in 2011, the Ludwig Museum presented an overview of Wolfgang Joop’s artistic work at Palazzo Bembo. The exhibition combined sculptures and two dimensional wall objects in a wide range of materials including marble, batiste, fabrics, paper and jewels. A majority of the worlds were made specifically for the show, along with other selected works from 2003 and 2006.
