Including
works by Joseph Beuys,
Mary Esch,
Katharina Fritsch,

Paul McCarthy,
Julie Mehretu,
Sigmar Polke,
Charles Ray, and
Paul Thek, this exhibition assembles a variety of media around the idea of historical or contemporary mythologies. For instance, Beuys,
Kiefer, and Polke reflect on troubled history and the notion of national identity, and Charles Ray shapes a conflicted monument to the late 20th century in his wrecked car entitled Unpainted Sculpture.
