The Neue Nationalgalerie dedicated an exhibition from September 23, 2005 to January 22, 2006 to one of the most important contemporary German artists, Jörg Immendorff. The former student of Joseph Beuys, born in 1945, made a spectacular appearance in the 2,500 square meter Upper Hall of the Neue Nationalgalerie designed: 6 pavilions and a free-standing wall combine to create a playful architecture that is conceptually based on the artist's early designs for a “LIDL city”. All installations are connected to each other by paths that, like the individual art chambers, are painted signal red.

The exhibition was made possible by the Friends of the National Gallery.
The various cubes house thematically grouped blocks of work from different phases of the artist's work. One room is dedicated to the “LIDL” works from the late 1960s and early 1970s and another to the famous “Café Deutschland” series (1976-1983). The Düsseldorf-based artist's most recent works are also part of the exhibition.
