The exhibition Das grosse Stilleben (The Big Still Life) by Klaus Littmann features a department store in Mugron in southern France that has survived largely intact some 30 years after it was closed. »Das grosse Stilleben« is authentic to the minutest detail. Only a few perishable goods were newly added; everything else originates from the department store in Mugron. Here, the installation heeds the words of Andy Warhol, who remarked in 1985: »Lock up a department store today, open the door after a hundred years and you will have a Museum of Modern Art.«
