    Ken Brown – Letters from K.B. to I.G.

    –

    This studio exhibition in Sammlung Goetz presented a selection of the correspondence that took place between Ken Brown and Ingvild Goetz from 2002 to 2005.

    Ken Brown wants to have other people participate in his life. Since 2002, he has thus sent letters and postcards with written notes, sketches, collages and photographs to some 20 persons. Some of the recipients are among the American artist's circle of friends. Others are people completely unknown to him who he would like to provide a particular pleasure. Ingvild Goetz belongs to the second category. His personal letters immediately stood out from the normal day-to-day correspondence of the collection. After some time, Ingvild Goetz began to answer Ken Brown at regular intervals. Their correspondence now includes circa 600 letters. In the studio exhibition, Sammlung Goetz provided a closer look at the dialogue between the collector and the artist.

    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.
