Open House on International Museum Day
Just in time for the International Museum Day, The Walther Collection will be opening the first extensive presentation of works by Chinese artists from its own collection. Featuring forty-four artists, Life and Dreams showcases a wide range of groundbreaking photography and media art produced by internationally recognized figures such as Yang Fudong, Zhang Peili, Ai Weiwei, Song Dong, Cao Fei, and Zhang Huan during an era of momentous social and economic change. It also incorporates new acquisitions and selected loans of significant media art by innovative younger artists such as Sun Xun, Lu Yang, and Qiu Anxiong to provide an up-to-the-minute account of the main directions and key achievements in contemporary Chinese photography and media art during the past three decades.
