A collection of contemporary art...
6:33 p.m.09/21/23 - A family's passion for something in particular is reflected in the home they live in, but when that passion becomes something so big that it goes beyond the limits of the house, it is necessary to share it with the rest of the world. If we talk about art, a passionate collector acquires pieces that shape his collection, pieces that are related to those he already has and that complete a story, until said collection becomes so voluminous, so exquisite, so well founded that it must leave the walls of its home. This is the case of the Rubell Collection, in which a family gathered a set of works of contemporary art that today coexist in 5,000 square meters for everyone to enjoy. Here we present the stars exhibited at this precise moment:
Maurizio Cattelan (Italy, 1960) and Damien Hirst (UK, 1964) share the first gallery we visit. These two iconic figures of the art world are characterized by being provocative, creative, sagacious and playful at the same time. Cattelan mocks the work Isolation Unit, by Joseph Beuys (1971), declaring that he has no ideas that will revolutionize art and that he himself is not an artist. While Hirst renovates an old display case and completes it with surgical objects from other times, emulating what was seen in museums in past centuries.
Robert Longo had a dream in which a man was trapped in ice. This dream gave rise to a triptych of individuals dressed in casual clothing, who lived in New York City and found themselves trapped or perhaps swallowed or paralyzed by the vertigo of the city, particularly in the 1980s.
Paloma Varga Weisz produced Waldfrau while on an artist residency in northern Germany. She was inspired by the people who lived in Worpswede, a city known for having been home to artists in the early 20th century.
From Takashi Murakami to Martha Jungwirth (Austria, 1940) and Yoshimoto Nara (Japan, 1959), the museum offers an international tour of emblematic works. The dogs of Nara's childhood, as Jungwirth's abstract representation of the biblical episode of Judith and Holofernes, take us from north to south and from east to west of the planet.
The paintings and installations that are displayed in around twenty galleries, with impeccable montage, are a gift for the lovers of contemporary art.
