The exhibition "New Works" presents a selection of new acquisitions for the 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. |

The topics on display include the effects of flight and migration as well as social tensions in deprived areas. The artists examine the often ambivalent relationship between humans and nature and address societal and political conflicts, past and present, in Europe, the USA, South Africa and Central America. With an impressive sensitivity to the complexity of broader social contexts, they visualise issues of equal opportunity and forms of political protest and address socio-economic processes and cultural differences between different social milieus.
The artists in the exhibition are: Mohammed Bourouissa, Alejandro Cartagena, Daniel Castro Garcia, Larry Clark, Anton Kusters, Susan Meiselas, Philip Montgomery, Anastasia Samoylova, Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse. |

The Art Collection Deutsche Börse is among the most important collections of international contemporary photography. Established in 1999, the collection now comprises more than 2,300 works by around 160 artists from 33 countries. The Art Collection is dedicated to the central themes of photography since the Mid-20th century. The visual languages and photographic approaches represented in the collection are as diverse as the background, age, or artistic method of the photographers, ranging from documentary to conceptual approaches. Each position offers its own perspective on the collection’s central theme, the “conditio humana”, the exploration of the conditions of human existence and its position in the world. |
