The Facts
On October 13, 2026, Galerie Max Hetzler announced that Friedrich Kunath's first solo museum exhibition in the United States, "I'll Romanticize This Later," will open at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami. The show brings together paintings, sculptures, and installations spanning the artist's career, alongside a new immersive digital environment. Kunath will appear in conversation with Klaus Biesenbach, Director of the Neue Nationalgalerie and Berlin Modern, on December 1, 2026 at the ICA Miami expansion space, focusing on German Romanticism and American popular culture. The artist is also featured in "On Landscape: Between Escapism and Disenchantment" at Haus Am Lützowplatz, Berlin, and in the Phaidon monograph "The Grand Tour," covering three decades of work.
The Signal
The ICA Miami presentation marks a significant institutional milestone for Kunath, whose work has long engaged Romanticism and pop culture. Aligning a major monograph and a Berlin group exhibition around the same moment suggests a coordinated push to situate the artist within broader conversations about landscape, technology, and the Anthropocene. For collectors, the exhibition and the Phaidon survey offer rare comprehensive context for a market that may be reassessing Kunath's position.
