Installation shot of the work " Schatten" ("Shadow") by the artist Hans-Peter Feldmann. This is a work consisting of various smaller artefacts on a table, which are illuminated by several small light sources and thus cast a shadow on the wall behind them. Hans-Peter Feldmann, Sammlung Goetz Munich

Happy Birthday! 20 Years of Sammlung Goetz

This year, Sammlung Goetz celebrates its 20th anniversary. What better reason could there be for a retrospective of important artists who have greatly influenced a younger generation?

 

With Shusaku Arakawa, Maria Bartuszová, Louise Bourgeois, Geta Brătescu, William Copley, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Neil Jenney, Anselm Kiefer, Yayoi Kusama and George Segal.

To mark this anniversary, Sammlung Goetz opens its archive to show more than 50 works by ten artists who have not been exhibited for many years, or in some cases, ever. There will be a reunion with old friends in specially set up artist rooms as well as some new discoveries in exciting comparisons. These include, for example, an early figurative installation by Yayoi Kusama from 1966, a large shadow play by Hans-Peter Feldmann and sculptures by Louise Bourgeois from all creative periods. In addition to installations, paintings and sculptures, works on paper will also be presented. These were the starting point of the collection.

Concept: Karsten Löckemann and Ingvild Goetz
Curator: Karsten Löckemann

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.
