New Works – Art Collection Deutsche Börse

It brings together works from different geographical regions spanning a period from the mid-20th century to the present. The artists represented focus on social and political issues, turning the spotlight on areas of tension in society and drawing attention to grievances. In their exploration of essential social challenges, the artists develop individual yet universally comprehensible visual languages that offer space for dialogue.
