All of them are donations and new acquisitions from the last two years. They enable dialogues between the most diverse identities and sensitivities across continents and times. and sensitivities, provide insights into fates or moments of happiness.
All the photographs, drawings, paintings, sculptures, and a video installation on view in the exhibition have been added to the collection of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg as acquisitions or donations in 2019 and 2020 and also expand the collection to include further non-European and female positions. The spectrum of the theme of 鈥渋mages of humanity,鈥� which has been a focal point of the collection since the museum鈥檚 founding, with key works by Christian Boltanski, Beat Streuli, and Cindy Sherman, is thus meaningfully complemented and continued with contemporary works.
