Artists

ADRIAN GHENIE

Within just a few years, Adrian Ghenie has made it to the forefront of the international art world. His special interest is the gap between great, "objective" history and subjective memory. The paintings are of great tactile and material appeal: painting becomes visible as painting.

ANNETTE MESSAGER

Since the early 1970s, the French artist has critically examined the role of women in her work. Her personal cosmos of images is as playful as it is profound, as poetic as it is oppressive.

HILMA AF KLINT

Hilma af Klint's 2019 solo show is the most visited exhibition ever at the Guggenheim Museum in New York: it is the spectacular rediscovery of the pioneer of abstract painting.

MERET OPPENHEIM

The "Fur Cup" established the fame of Meret Oppenheim in 1936, who joined the Surrealists in Paris. In her work she took on the special position of the "female artist" - she is one of the most important artists of the 20th century.

IMRAN QURESHI

Imran Qureshi is considered one of the most important representatives of the art scene in Pakistan. He combines motifs and ornaments of the Mughal tradition with conceptual thinking and contemporary abstract painting.

PETER DOWNSBROUGH

Peter Downsbrough is one of the important personalities of the New York art scene who participated in the development of Conceptual Art from Minimal Art in the late 1960s. He consistently questioned the traditional object-like character of the work, which led him to radically simplified sculptures and spatial interventions.

GERT UND UWE TOBIAS

In the works of the twin brothers, who have lived in Germany since 1985, supposedly mythical-folkloric motifs from their homeland Transylvania meet with set pieces of Art Brut and form a cross-over together with ciphers of pop culture and street art.

JIMMIE DURHAM

Jimmie Durham, a descendant of North American Cherokee Indians, was active in the Texas civil rights movement in the 1960s. Since his move to Europe in 1994, his work has focused on nature and culture, religion and architecture. The material stone plays a central role in the work of the artist, writer and former political activist.

JANET CARDIFF & GEORGE B. MILLER

For around two decades, Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have succeeded in transporting the viewer into perfectly simulated, emotional spaces of experience. Despite their sometimes strong visuality, even pictorial power, the multimedia works of the artist couple address our sense of hearing in particular.

ROMAN ONDÁK

The starting point of Roman Ondák's subtle, almost poetic conceptual art are everyday situations. Minimal shifts in the everyday are his central stylistic device for shaking up the audience's expectations and questioning conventions - including those of the art business.

HANNAH RYGGEN

Originally trained as a painter, Hannah Ryggens discovered woven murals early on as a form of artistic expression for her social and political involvement.

ROSEMARIE TROCKEL

The work of the conceptual artist is often read as a critical commentary on traditional role models of women in society and art. Yet, as her works with and about the animal show, for example, it goes beyond the feminist gesture.
