On View - Encounters with the Photographic Collection +

The Ann and Jürgen Wilde Foundation and the Collection of Photography and Time-Based Media are presenting a joint overview of their holdings in one exhibition for the first time. Milestones of artistic photography from the 20th and 21st centuries will be on display – including renowned key works and recent acquisitions. Taking New Objectivity and documentary photography as starting points, themes such as the body, identity, objecthood, time and narrative will be explored, juxtaposing works spanning different eras. The dialogical, often surprising encounters render the medium visible as an art form that decisively shapes our visual perception and the current discourse.

The exhibition "On View. Encounters with the Photographic" unites some 250 works by more than 50 artists in one exhibition space covering 1200 square metres.
