Ken Brown – Letters from K.B. to I.G.

June 27 – September 24, 2005

This studio exhibition in Sammlung Goetz presented a selection of the correspondence that took place between Ken Brown and Ingvild Goetz from 2002 to 2005.

Ken Brown wants to have other people participate in his life. Since 2002, he has thus sent letters and postcards with written notes, sketches, collages and photographs to some 20 persons. Some of the recipients are among the American artist's circle of friends. Others are people completely unknown to him who he would like to provide a particular pleasure. Ingvild Goetz belongs to the second category. His personal letters immediately stood out from the normal day-to-day correspondence of the collection. After some time, Ingvild Goetz began to answer Ken Brown at regular intervals. Their correspondence now includes circa 600 letters. In the studio exhibition, Sammlung Goetz provided a closer look at the dialogue between the collector and the artist.

Cindy Sherman

March 17 – June 27, 2026 | Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the central theme in the work of the American artist Cindy Sherman. In doing so, she draws on stereotypes from the collective visual memory within a media-shaped world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz / Schaufenster focuses on works from her Fashion series, created between 1983 and 1984. Through Sherman’s passion for costume and masquerade, the world of fashion offers a broad field for her artistic exploration.
