Penck and Jonathan Meese. In addition, outstanding works by Richard Paul Lohse and Max Bill from a private Berlin collection of Concrete Art and special works from the Maren Otto Collection, which includes the artists C.O. Paeffgen and Robert Wilson. Works by Roy Lichtenstein and Christo come from the Ernst Schering Foundation and conceptual sculpture, prominently represented by Imi Knoebel, from a European corporate collection. In addition, the catalogue presents institutionally established artists of the future, such as Monica Bonvicini, Michail Pirgelis and Sylvie Fleury.
