Ground floor
"City Landscape" from 1995, a major work by Alex Katz, is a gift from the artist to the Udo and Anette Brandhorst Foundation and is on view as of now on the ground floor.
The most recent acquisitions of the Udo and Anette Brandhorst Foundation can be seen in Room 0.7 from now on. Francesco Clemente’s works “Sound and Shadow, I–III”, were painted in 2002 in New Mexico and depict a desert landscape in vastly changing moods – possibly an allusion to different times of day. The central motif that dominates the composition is modified slightly and can be interpreted as a loose combination of huge and abnormally shaped hands and feet. The body and head, where sensuousness and emotion are located, have – in proportion – been reduced to a minimum. The paintings are contrasted with works by Andy Warhol in the Museum Brandhorst that illustrate the modification and depletion of a symbol of social change.
