With the acquisition of “Need III, 2023–2024” by Berlinde De Bruyckere, the Friends of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart e. V. are now enabling a significant expansion of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart’s collection of contemporary art. This new acquisition underscores the ongoing commitment of the Friends of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart e. V. to securing outstanding artistic voices for the collection and introducing contemporary perspectives into the museum’s discourse.
As part of the collection presentation “THIS IS TOMORROW,” the installation “Need III, 2023–2024” will be shown in juxtaposition with works by Doris Salcedo and Teresa Margolles. Three female artists, each of whom has found her own powerful visual language for the unspeakable.
