Eye watching: Erwerbungen und Schenkungen = acquisitions and gifts : Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen 2009-2016

Abstract

The publication provides an overview of the new acquisitions and gifts that have entered the collection holdings of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in the years 2009-16, under the leadership of Marion Ackermann as artistic director. These new additions have not only strengthened existing focuses such as the artists' rooms and the Paul Klee collection; they have also made it possible to fill apparent gaps, for instance, with respect to the women artists represented in the collection. The acquisitions made during this time period are being presented for the first time in this volume, which also makes Marion Ackermann's acquisition strategies accessible to the public.
