Long Story Short An Art History from the Brandhorst Collection from the 1960s to the Present
until
“Long Story Short” tells a story of contemporary art from the 1960s to the present from the holdings of the Brandhorst Collection. Each room is an exhibition in its own right: from Arte Povera to monographic presentations, from formal-aesthetic discourses to socio-political topics. Works that have never been shown before and new acquisitions enter into a dialog with the museum's icons and open up new perspectives on the collection, which now comprises over 2000 works.

About the exhibition
Since its opening, the museum’s holdings have grown from 800 to over 2,000 works of art, weaving together multiple strands from contemporary and recent art. These works provide both focused and wide-ranging insights into artistic production over the past seventy years, especially in Europe and the United States. Rather than attempting to present a purportedly complete history of this period, the exhibition “Long Story Short” strings together selected movements, aesthetic concerns, and artistic positions from the 1960s to today, creating a sequence of individual art histories.
