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'.

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.
