This colour photograph shows a richly furnished room in which two women (mother and daughter) pose. Next to them is the figure of a black boy holding a cigarette in his hand, whose features are depicted in an exaggeratedly African-American manner.

    Female Identities? KünstlerInnen der Sammlung Goetz

    –

    "Art always has to have something to do with me. This is why a constant preoccupation with the new and the contemporary is a personal concern to me and one that affects my collecting." (Ingvild Goetz)

    With Nobuyoshi Araki, Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin, Sarah Jones, Daniela Rossell, Jessica Stockholder, Rosemarie Trockel, Rachel Whiteread and Andrea Zittel.

    Critically questioning one's own identity – which Ingvild Goetz does time and time again by committing herself to the art of her age – is also the starting point for the new selection of works from her extensive collection that is on display in the Neues Museum Weserburg.
    Take Diane Arbus and Nan Goldin's photographs, or Andrea Zittel's pieces of clothing and dining room tables, or Jessica Stockholder's couch parts, or Rosemarie Trockel and Rachel Whiteread's body castings or even fragments – do these reflect female identities? This was the question – or even conflict – that continually confronts visitors to the 2004 exhibit in the Neues Museum Weserburg. The selection of photographs changes twice during the course of the show.

    Imi Knoebel

    Sammlung Goetz

    Autumn/Winter 2021

    The Sammlung Goetz honors the artist Imi Knoebel on the occasion of his 80th birthday with a retrospective exhibition. The entire spectrum of Knoebel’s artistic oeuvre will be presented, starting with his black and white photographs from the 1960s to his collages made of multicolored paper and his objects cast in concrete and ending with his most recent paintings in acrylic on aluminum. The presentation also includes Knoebel’s geometrical, minimalist works as well as his expressive paintings from the 1980s, which have rarely been shown until now.

    Barbara Kasten. Works

    Sammlung Goetz BASE 103

    Autumn/Winter 2021

    The American artist Barbara Kasten has created an impressive artistic oeuvre over her career spanning from the 1970s to the present. At the center of Kasten’s work are her abstract, geometric color photographs from the 1980s, which explore the interplay of light and dark and afford new spatial experiences. The Sammlung Goetz, which has extensive holdings of works by Kasten, is mounting the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. A selection of the extensive retrospective will be on view in the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
