Elmgreen & Dragset’s work will be presented in ‘Stillleben mit Gemüse’, a solo exhibition at the Städel Museum, Frankfurt, opening on 26 May 2026.

​​​​​​​The exhibition will feature two immersive installations that, together with sculptures and interventions by the artists, will radiate throughout the entire building and into the neighbouring Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung. Entering into dialogue with works of art from the Städel Museum spanning over 700 years, the presentation creates a series of almost-surreal constellations which place visitors at the centre of an immersive visual experience. By redirecting the gaze, Elmgreen & Dragset draw attention to moments that are easily overlooked, creating poetic scenes imbued with equal measures of scepticism and humour.
