“Something had to happen to make me think that it was worth taking a picture. A situation, a connection, a conversation, an encounter...” A lot has happened: In thousands of photographs, the Belgian-born photographer Benjamin Katz has portrayed protagonists of the art scene from the 1960s to the ’90s. Thirty of these photographs acquired by the Friends since 2014 are portraits of artists whose works are also represented in the Kunstsammlung: Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Ulrich Erben, Günther Förg, Katharina Fritsch, Isa Genzken, Katharina Grosse, Georg Herold, Candida Höfer, Jenny Holzer, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Per Kirkeby, Konrad Klapheck, Jürgen Klauke, Imi Knoebel, Roy Lichtenstein, Marcel Odenbach, Blinky Palermo, Arnulf Rainer, Gerhard Richter, Thomas Schütte, Richard Serra, Katharina Sieverding, Thomas Struth, Rosemarie Trockel, Günther Uecker, and Andy Warhol. The thirty-first photograph depicts the founding director of the Kunstsammlung, Werner Schmalenbach, in front of a work by Richard Serra, taken during an excursion of the Friends to Houston in March 1990.
