Thanks to the broad attention of the collector Reinhold Würth, the third collection exhibition at Museum Würth 2 once again offers outstanding masterpieces of modern and contemporary art. Among them are numerous significant new acquisitions that present established icons of the collection in a new light and address different questions than before. For example, Hans Josephsohn's "Große Liegende" from 1971/80 meets the spectacularly staged intimacy in Lovis Corinth's reclining nude from 1925. A monumental charcoal drawing by Robert Longo shows Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space. Fascinating in every respect. But as early as 1789, the romantic poet Novalis, whom Max Ernst (and Caspar David Friedrich) refers to, remarked: "We dream of journeys through the universe: Is not the universe within us?

We do not know the monumental depths of our mind. The mysterious path leads inward. In us, or nowhere, is eternity with its worlds, the past and the future." Viewed in this way, even the towers of found objects stacked by Tony Cragg appear as a plea against the wear and tear of ideas and substances. In any case, the focus of the exhibition is on works that have the power to create new image and thought spaces.
