„Here is a fact: there’s a lot out there in the world that’s not visible either by nature or location. But these non-visible things affect you as deeply as the visible ones. This fact has guided me in developing many of the forms in my work.” (Roni Horn)

Artist Roni Horn has fascinated collector Ingvild Goetz since the early beginning of her concentrated art collecting. Among the first exhibitions after the opening of the gallery building of Sammlung Goetz in 1993, there was an exhibition by Roni Horn together with Felix Gonzalez-Torres in 1995. Nearly 20 years after the visionary exhibition the Sammlung Goetz is now realizing a large overview of works by Roni Horn from the collection. The exhibition will be curated in close collaboration with the artist and can claim to offer a representative insight into all aspects of this unique oeuvre.

From May 17th, 2013 the Goetz Collection presents part 2 with a new presentation.

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.
