Exhibition summary

This exhibition showcases high-caliber artworks from the Heidi Horten Collection, focusing on Expressionism and art from the 1960s and 1970s. A unique interactive element, #ARTfluence, allows visitors to select artworks on-site or via social media for permanent display, making them active participants in shaping the museum's collection.

Curatorial context

WE❤ features a curated selection of significant artworks from the Heidi Horten Collection, organized around three primary thematic areas: Expressionism (particularly German variants), art from the 1960s and 1970s (with a focus on U.S., Italian, and German positions), and painting and sculpture straddling figuration and abstraction. This exhibition is intrinsically linked to the 'WOW!' exhibition from 2018 and the subsequent establishment of the Heidi Horten Museum. A notable aspect is the #ARTfluence initiative, which empowers visitors to influence the permanent display by selecting approximately twenty artworks through on-site voting or social media engagement. This participatory approach transforms the traditional museum experience into an interactive journey, redefining the relationship between the museum, its community, and the art it houses, demonstrating a commitment to bridging tradition with contemporary art appreciation.
