„Here is a fact: there’s a lot out there in the world that’s not visible either by nature or location. But these non-visible things affect you as deeply as the visible ones. This fact has guided me in developing many of the forms in my work.” (Roni Horn)

Artist Roni Horn has fascinated collector Ingvild Goetz since the early beginning of her concentrated art collecting. Among the first exhibitions after the opening of the gallery building of Sammlung Goetz in 1993, there was an exhibition by Roni Horn together with Felix Gonzalez-Torres in 1995. Nearly 20 years after the visionary exhibition the Sammlung Goetz is now realizing a large overview of works by Roni Horn from the collection. The exhibition will be curated in close collaboration with the artist and can claim to offer a representative insight into all aspects of this unique oeuvre.

From May 17th, 2013 the Goetz Collection presents part 2 with a new presentation.

Gutai. Collection + Goetz

| Pinakothek der Moderne | Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection)

Works from the Sammlung Goetz place the phenomenon of gestural art within an international context. After the end of World War II and in an auspicious political climate, one of the most innovative artist groups of the 20th century, Gutai (concrete, spontaneous, direct), evolved in Japan. The Gutai group was founded in 1954 with the aim of moving beyond the realm of abstraction and exploring the possibilities of pure creativity. Works by Toshio Yoshida and Chiyu Uemae, among others, will be presented. This project is a continuation of the joint cooperation between the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen and the Sammlung Goetz under the title Sammlung+Goetz.
