Eröffnung „Confrontations“ & „Long Story Short“

Celebrate the opening of the two exhibitions "Confrontations" and "Long Story Short" with us!

Both exhibitions open up new perspectives on the Brandhorst Collection.

"Confrontations" brings together pairs of works from the Brandhorst Collection that have no art-historical or formal relationship to each other. It is precisely in their contrasting nature that these pairings develop a special tension: they open up new spaces for thought, appeal to our intuition and arouse emotions. Sometimes touching, sometimes subtle, sometimes funny and always ambiguous, a conversation is created between and about art.

"Long Story Short" tells a story of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present from the holdings of the Brandhorst Collection. Each room is an exhibition in its own right: from Arte Povera to monographic presentations, from formal-aesthetic discourses to socio-political themes. Works that have never been shown before and new acquisitions enter into a dialog with icons of the museum and open up new perspectives on the collection, which now comprises over 2000 works.
