The targeted expansion of its holdings— spanning from medieval to contemporary art—follows programmatic criteria derived from the collection’s profile and a critical reassessment of art history, particularly with regard to gaps and desiderata. Thus, a key emphasis has been—and continues to be—the substantial expansion of the presence of women artists and other historically underrepresented positions within the collection. This exhibition reflects these priorities and features historical and contemporary works in a display conceived specifically for the occasion by artist Heimo Zobernig.
