THINGS ARE QUEER
Highlights of UniCredit Art Collection
March 12 to May 22, 2011
With over 60,000 works, the UnCredit Art Collection is one of the most comprehensive corporate collections in Europe. It brings together renowned Old Masters such as Canaletto or Dosso Dossi with modern classics like Yves Klein, Fernand Léger, Giorgio Morandi, Kurt Schwitters or Giorgio de Chirico, not to mention outstanding contemporary artists such as Andreas Gursky, Neo Rauch, Erwin Wurm, Haim Steinbach and Gerhard Richter. Photography alone plays a strong role, accounted for by 4,000 historical and contemporary works. For the first time Marta Herford will present a fascinating view of masterpieces of this great collection in Germany. The selection with the title “Things are Queer” will highlight the different facets with which the things of the world develop a life of their own and which, on closer inspection, actually look strange.
