American Art from the Goetz Collection, Munich

„This art is not critical in the traditional sense of the word, as it lacks a position to peform criticism from. But the way of grasping, repeating, multiplying the given reality, challenging the dominating social, aesthetic and gender norms it is subverse.“ (Noemi Smolik)

 

With Matthew Barney, Carroll Dunham, Robert Gober, Peter Halley, Jenny Holzer, Mike Kelley, Jonathan Lasker, Louise Lawler, Cady Noland, Raymond Pettibon, Paul Pfeiffer, Richard Prince, Jessica Stockholder and Andrea Zittel.

Sammlung Goetz has extensive holdings of American art from the 1980s and 1990s. Characteristic for this period is a great diversity of modes of expression and media. Based on their own biographical experiences, the artists featured in this exhibition reflect sociopolitical issues in their works. Curator Noemi Smolik has selected 14 artistic positions together with Sammlung Goetz for the exhibition in the Rudolfinum in Prague. After 40 years of socialism, she hopes to stimulate discussion about contemporary art and the role of private collectors in the Czech Republic.

Gutai. Collection + Goetz

| Pinakothek der Moderne | Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection)

Since 2019, in the context of the Sammlung+ format, the Sammlung Moderne Kunst has presented artistic discoveries, new acquisitions and thematic foci in the Pinakothek der Moderne in collaboration with partners and foundations. This has led to the emergence of new perspectives on the collections, new insights into research work and the establishment of new dialogues. It is in this framework that a selection of paintings by the Japanese artist group Gutai from the Sammlung Goetz will be presented in room 23, within a series of rooms focusing on near-contemporaneous regional and German abstraction phenomena under the title “Walk the Line.”  Founded in 1954 by the abstract painter Jiro Yoshihara, Gutai was one of the 20th century’s most innovative artistic movements, which combined action, abstraction and materiality.
