Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein has been cooperating with the Berlin-based Kienzle Collection for many years. Whereas in the initial years it was works of artists associated with Arte Povera that came to the collection as permanent loans, the cooperation was intensified in 2016 by the addition of an extensive set of numerous other works of artists from Europe and the USA.

For the first time, the exhibition now presents the Kienzle Collection in its special themed structure that covers a broad field including painterly and conceptual positions expressed in all manner of media.

Starting with Franz Erhard Walther, who features with works from all creative periods, the show includes paintings of Jonathan Lasker, Jack Goldstein, David Reed, Gary Stephan or Klaus Merkel along with more conceptual works by Anna Oppermann, Ketty La Rocca, Emilio Prini, Ferdinand Kriwet or Louise Fishman.

Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein with Hilti Art Foundation

Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein is a museum of modern and contemporary art at the heart of Vaduz. The profile of the collection of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, which is at the same time the state art collection of the Principality of Liechtenstein, is specifically defined by three-dimensional artworks: sculptures, installations and objects. A particular emphasis is on Arte Povera and post-minimal art. The new Hilti Art Foundation exhibition building was added to the Kunstmuseum in 2015. This important private collection from Liechtenstein comprises outstanding works of classical modernism and contemporary art.
