This photograph by the artist Cindy Sherman shows a close-up of her golden painted face, which is partially covered with a golden eye mask. The eyes are painted light red, the eyebrows are painted black, she is blinking to the right and has a black line on her lips that extends beyond the length of her actual lips.

HAUTNAH. Die Sammlung Goetz

The exhibition HAUTNAH in Museum Villa Stuck spotlights Sammlung Goetz's core interests. Featuring 100 works by 20 contemporary artists, this show focuses on questions of sexuality, identity and the boundaries of human existence.

With Doug Aitken, Chantal Akerman, Kutlug Ataman, Matthew Barney, Janet Cardiff, Saul Fletcher, Robert Gober, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Douglas Gordon, Jürgen Klauke, Yayoi Kusama, Bjørn Melhus, Tracey Moffatt, Pierre Molinier, Catherine Opie, Gabriel Orozco, Ulrike Ottinger, Tony Oursler, Cindy Sherman and Kiki Smith.

"My collecting work is very subjective and relates to issues that I wish to confront myself", explains collector Ingvild Goetz in an interview. The exhibition in Museum Villa Stuck thus provides not only a good overview of current developments in the art world but also an insight into Ingvild Goetz's collecting strategy. On display are videos, films, photographs, installations, sculptures and drawings from the extensive holdings of Sammlung Goetz. Critical social issues are treated without any moralizing undertone, but with an intensity that literally goes under the skin, i.e. 'hautnah'.
