Preview 2012
In the course of the year, the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen will once again be showcasing a provocative and varied exhibition program at our three venues, the K20 Grabbeplatz, the K21 Ständehaus and the Schmela Haus, a former gallery building located in Düsseldorf’s old town. Awaiting visitors will be different projects, ranging from classical modernism to monographic presentations of internationally recognized artists. Playing a central role in our program will be large-scale special exhibitions, as well as active interventions involving works from the permanent collection, along with special foci on film and video art and on artist’s rooms.

Zvi Goldstein at K20
This exhibition "Zvi Goldstein - Haunted by objects" is the largest project to date of this conceptual sculptor and author, born in 1947, who has developed an artistic stance since the late 1970s which remains external to the western context, yet at the same time strongly linked to it. Assembled from more than 850 objects and images ranging from antiquity to the present day and originating from diverse cultures around the world, "Haunted by Objects" is a dense, complex, hybrid cosmos.
