A SPECIAL EXHIBITION OF THE MODERN ART COLLECTION AT HERRENCHIEMSEE CASTLE
The summer exhibition of the Modern Art Collection at Herrenchiemsee Palace presents more than 50 works by artists whose works deal with fundamental democratic values such as freedom, self-determination and human dignity. Masterpieces from the Bavarian State Painting Collections from classical modernism to the present day are juxtaposed with site-specific works.
In their works, artists deal with conventions and roles, self-development and values for the individual and society in an independent and concise way. Their observations on contemporary history are unsparing, especially in retrospect, and translate painful experiences into images that endure over time.
The exhibition thus refers to the constitutional convention that took place on Herrenchiemsee in August 1948 and created the basis for the German constitution, to which the exhibition "The Will to Freedom and Democracy" is dedicated in the Old Palace.
