    Thomas Schütte

    –

    A fundamental distrust of art institutions is the characteristic element in the works of Thomas Schütte. He subtly formulates this criticism with seemingly classic works.

    The Sammlung Goetz holds over 50 works by Schütte from the past 20 years. These represent various complexes of works created during his years of study at the Academy in Dusseldorf up to the present day. They also reflect the collector's personal interest in the artist, however. In close cooperation with Thomas Schütte, a retrospective was developed with a scope not seen since the mid 1990s in Germany. The exhibit includes examples of his architectural models, sculptures, installations, water colors, photographs and drawings as well as studies from the early 1980s that have never been shown.
    Schütte's skepticism about the traditional conception of art and its function in public spaces is manifested throughout. It is also expressed by the radical and experimental practice of including unsuccessful attempts as part of the artist's oeuvre.

    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.
