Independent Collectors

Haus N – Part One

What happens when the private communicates with the public and when personal decisions become a public matter?

These are just some of the questions that are provoked in the current exhibition from the Haus N Collection, Kiel, at the Gerisch-Stiftung, Neumünster. “Vom Grossen und Ganzen”, which runs until the 26th July, addresses and involves its audience by prompting discussion around topics surrounding the choice of a collector, and what affect that in turn has on the exhibition. Here, in part one of the exhibition, we showcase a select number some of the works that are featured in the “Vom Grossen und Ganzen”.
