Posthumously, the Nationalmusée um Fëschmaart (Luxembourg) and the Art Centers Nei Liicht and Dominique Lang (Dudelange) pay tribute to Marc Henri Reckinger (1940-2023), the winner of the Lëtzebuerger Konschtpräis 2024. Trained in Brussels, Vienna, and Paris, Reckinger is a pioneer on the Luxembourg art scene. At the end of the 1960s, this art education professor co-founded two major protest art movements: Konsdrëffer Scheier, and then the Arbeitsgruppe Kunst (1968), renamed Initiative 69. Driven by a libertarian spirit and nonconformist breath, he was among the first to explore uncommon avenues of expression in Luxembourg such as pop art, hard edge, and conceptual art. Inspired by a humanist awareness and socialist activism, which led him to make a political foray entirely to the left, he returned to his artistic practice in the late 70s, pursuing a "realist" approach, devoid of filter and artifice: with Reckinger, the message is straightforward, accessible to all, and combative. His works scream rebellion - against social injustices, capitalist greed, the established system, and even the art establishment. Tasked with honoring with an exhibition the 2024 laureate of the Lëtzebuerger Konschtpräis, a biennial visual arts award given by the Ministry of Culture, the museum will present a selection of works emblematic of the fierce commitment that fueled Marc Henri Reckinger. Come discover the universe of this early whistleblower and see how the man and the artist are one, tirelessly placing art at the service of the battle.
