Könnt ihr noch? - Kunst und Demokratie | Pinakothek der Moderne im Schloss Herrenchiemsee
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition“Könnt ihr noch? – Art and Democracy”will also be on view at the New Palace in Herrenchiemsee in the summer of 2026. The exhibition’s title references the tech-rap group Deichkind and calls on us to strengthen the values of democracy, even in times of growing social tensions.
Against this backdrop, over 50 major works from the Modern Art Collection will be presented in the historic unfinished rooms of Herrenchiemsee Palace. Ten chapters highlight the importance of creative self-expression, the fundamental values of our constitution, and the possibilities for social participation. Works by artists such as Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann, Rosemarie Trockel, Joseph Beuys, Maria Lassnig, and Gerhard Richter span the spectrum from Classical Modernism to the present day and engage in an impressive dialogue with the extraordinary architecture of the palace, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2025. The exhibition references the Constitutional Convention, which laid the foundation for the German Constitution at Herrenchiemsee in 1948.
A new installation by the artist Paloma Varga Weisz is on view in the impressive staircase. She is one of today’s leading sculptors, and in her poetic works she combines existential questions with a sensitive approach to materiality and surreal elements.
Artists:
John Baldessari, Max Beckmann, Joseph Beuys, Lisa Brice, Deichkind, Günther Förg, Sheila Hicks, K. H. Hödicke, Jörg Immendorff, Asger Jorn, Anselm Kiefer, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Maria Lassnig, Henri Laurens, Inge Mahn, Henry Moore, A. R. Penck, Pablo Picasso, Judit Reigl, Gerhard Richter, Rosemarie Trockel, Paloma Varga Weisz, Andy Warhol, and others.
Curated by Verena Hein, Anja Heitzer, and Oliver Kase
