This work consists of laurel leaves, which are piled up on the ground and have already been dried out. On the upper, wider side there is an oval, thick and slightly turquoise glass piece on top of it, which lets the leaves shine through.

Weserburg | Museum für moderne Kunst, Bremen

Sammlung Goetz.Works ofArte Povera and Mike Kelley

March 9 – December 31, 2003

This new presentation in Bremen presents works of Arte Povera and American artist Mike Kelley – two main areas of the Sammlung Goetz holdings – for an extended period of time.

In 1997, the Neues Museum Weserburg (today Weserburg Museum für moderne Kunst) held a major exhibition with important works of Arte Povera from Sammlung Goetz. This was the first time that works from this genre had ever been shown in Northern Germany. Thanks to this long-standing collaboration, a new opportunity allows parts of this collection to be rediscovered in other contexts.

Cindy Sherman

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

The staging of female role models in photographic self-portraits is the predominant theme in the work of American artist Cindy Sherman. To this end, Sherman references stereotypes of collective visual memory in a media-driven world. The exhibition at the Sammlung Goetz /Schaufenster highlights works from Sherman’s fashion series, created between 1983 and 1994. Thanks to her passion for costumes and masquerade, the world of fashion has been an expansive playing field for her artistic exploration.
