WOLFSBURG, GERMANY – The foundation of the
Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in 1994 simultaneously marked the launch of its
mission to build a permanent collection. Today, along with the
museum’s exhibition programme, the collection enjoys an international
reputation and is one of the outstanding cultural features that contribute
to the City of Wolfsburg’s appeal. To mark the museum’s 15th anniversary,
Markus Brüderlin, the director of the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg since 2006,
has chosen to present the collection in a new light. The
exhibition 15 Years of Collecting – Against the Grain has therefore been
conceived as a distinctive, informal juxtaposition of older and younger
artists and works rather than the customary chronological
display. On view through 13 September, 2009.
