The Collection Peters-Messer unites well-known contemporary artists such as John Bock, Sophie Calle and Thomas Hirschhorn with emerging artists like Rebekka Benzenberg, Harry Hachmeister, Henrike Naumann, Murat Önen, Ulrike Schulze and Sophia Süßmilch.

The exhibition features an incisive selection of political works that critically explore the societal upheavals of our time – sometimes with oppressive directness, sometimes with expressive gestures or conceptual clarity. In addition to a large number of expansive installations, the donation includes paintings, drawings, photography and video art.

Please note: This exhibition contains depictions of violence and sexual content.
