Remix

German-English edition Jörg Immendorff's Café Deutschland, Georg Baselitz's Remix paintings, or Joseph Beuys' protest signs-the Viehof Collection is one of the most important private collections in Germany, focusing on German art from the post-war period to the present day. It brings together works by Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, who stand for the audacious, socially critical art of the 1960s, through to the 1980s, marked by artists such as Albert Oehlen and Katharina Sieverding, and extending to 21st-century abstract art, represented by Corinne Wasmuht and Katharina Grosse. Based on works in the Viehof Collection, the exhibition's accompanying publication presents 24 pioneering positions in German art. Striking contrasts emerge-such as Jörg Immendorff's expansive formats compared to Joseph Beuys' conceptual works, or the distinct artistic approaches of Anne Imhof, Katharina Fritsch, and Nairy Baghramian. This overview provides compelling evidence that individual artistic style has long since surpassed any notion of a national school of art.
