Opening twenty years after the death, the exhibition series Michel Majerus 2022 – which unfolded across Germany and included KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Kunstverein in Hamburg, among others – was dedicated to various phases and aspects of the artist’s oeuvre. Death In November 2002, Majerus was killed aboard Luxair Flight 9642 while travelling from Berlin to Luxembourg. Influence Thomas Bayrle played with elements from two of Majerus’s paintings to create a silk-screened wallpaper, Majerus (Smudge Tool/XXX) I (2013). In 2020, Takashi Murakami made paintings that borrow some of Majerus’s imagery.
