“Confrontations. Pairings from the Collection” brings together pairs of works from the Brandhorst Collection that have no art-historical or formal relationship to each other.
These pairings unfold a special tension precisely in their contrasts: they open up new spaces for thought, address our intuition and evoke emotions. Sometimes touching, sometimes subtle, sometimes funny and always ambiguous, they create a conversation about and between art. The exhibition invites us to see confrontation in a productive way, to discover new connections, to question familiar interpretations and to link personal experiences with overarching questions of the present.
