Book synopsis

Launched in 2018, the exhibition series Blickwechsel (Switching Views) at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden (SKD) sets up a temporary dialog between contemporary artworks and historical objects. The book documents these interventions in the SKD's various museums and uses them as a launch pad for a foray through the collections that is rich with associations. The varied range of juxtapositions includes works by noted artists featured in the Sammlung Hoffmann, Berlin and its endowment to the SKD; the Hoffmanns began assembling their collection of art in the 1960s.The book invites readers to take a fresh look at well-known artworks and the SKD's diverse holdings in the light of contemporary discourse-beyond conventional classifications and with a new angle on the power of artistic exploration across time.Dorothée Brill is head of the Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann, Berlin donated to the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. Luise Richter is a research associate for the Schenkung Sammlung Hoffmann donated to the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. Rebecca Schmidt is a curatorial trainee at the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
