The exhibition "New Works" presents recent acquisitions for the Art Collection Deutsche Börse from the past 24 months. It shows how these artistic positions expand and at the same time deepen the curatorial concept of the collection, which currently comprises over 2,200 photographs by around 150 artists from 30 nations.
The displayed bodies of works by the ten newly added artists contain references to essential characteristics of the Art Collection: They reflect the represented spectrum of visual languages as well as its cross-generational focus. Young artists’ works, among them Verdiana Albano’s "surrounded" series on the Chinese megacity of Chonqing, enter into a dialogue with established positions in the history of photography, such as Walker Evans’ iconic images on life in the US in the 1930s. Alongside the acquisition of new artistic positions, the body of works by artists already represented in the Collection is also regularly expanded, as in the case of Samuel Fosso. His early self-portraits laid the groundwork for his approach of self-staging, which was already represented in the Collection by his works from a later period. |

| Each new acquisition enriches the Art Collection with a fresh perspective on its central theme, the "conditio humana", while at the same time tying in with the existing work groups. In his photographs of the Black community in 1980s New York, African American photographer Jamel Shabazz for example adds a new facet to observing people in public spaces. This is also true for Tom Wood’s scenes of everyday encounters in England from the same period. |

| The photo and video work "Sub Rosa" by Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques shows the interactions of adolescents at a monumental relic of fascism in Madrid, which they have taken over as their meeting point and retreat. In their series "Small Town", Ute and Werner Mahler also document how urban and spatial design may or may not promote personal interaction. Cristina de Middel chooses a different form of narrative for real events in her project "The Afronauts". In her fictional documentary about Zambia’s visionary but unsuccessful 1964 space programme, she combines documents from the mission’s archive with staged photographs. Young British artist Maisie Cousins’ play with staging is also central to her work, in which she creates opulent and colourful versions of still lifes from food scraps and waste. |
