„As part of this program, I am now very happy to be able to present works from the Sammlung Ingvild Goetz. As a person and as a collector, Ingvild Goetz is characterized by the qualities of tolerance and openness, but also by her rigor and consistency. We both agree that instead of being a show of strenght, the exhibition in Hamburg should feature artists and works that enter into dialog with each other.“ (Harald Falckenberg)

At regular intervals, Harald Falckenberg invited other collectors to show works from their collections, either alone or alongside works from his own collection, at his exhibition space in the former Phoenix Works in Hamburg-Harburg. In the past, he has hosted the collections of F. C. Gundlach and Klaus Lafrenz, both from Hamburg, as well as the collections of Wilhelm Schürmann from Aachen and Anton Herbert from Ghent. For the Goetz meets Falckenberg exhibition, 100 works from the Sammlung Goetz and 75 works from the Falckenberg Collection were selected by Zdenek Felix, former director of the Deichtorhallen, who is thoroughly familiar with both. The curator’s aim was not simply to showcase the highlights from each collection, but to present diverse artistic positions in dialogue with one another in order to give an insight into the contradictions and divergences in contemporary art. At the same time, the exhibition also underscored some of the commonalities shared by the artists, as well as the singularity and individuality of the two collections.
