The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between Rotella’s works and those of contemporary artists who embrace, reinterpret, or critically challenge his legacy, creating a space of resonance between past and present.

Twenty years after his death, Mimmo Rotella (1918-2006) is celebrated as one of the most influential and radical artists of the 20th century. As the founder of Décollage, he developed a distinctive artistic language in which he condensed urban visual worlds, torn posters, and fragments of mass culture into powerful, poetic, and subversive compositions.
‚Mimmo Rotella & Friends’ is not merely a tribute to a historical figure; it is a vibrant space of resonance between the past and the present. It demonstrates how Rotella’s artistic vision remains alive and continues to shape contemporary visual art and culture by offering a profound and open interpretation of his legacy.
The exhibition is based on a close collaboration with the Rotella family, who approached Sebastian and Simon Vogel in the summer of 2025 to realize an exhibition. Gregor Hildebrandt was invited to curate the exhibition.
Exhibition runs from 23 June to 12 July 2026,
