Art is a powerful space of connections, of contact and exchange: thanks to forty works from the collection of the Hilti Art Foundation, the most diverse artists of the twentieth century are coming together in one exhibition – and at the same time come In Touch with us, the visitors.

Political and social transformation was a defining feature of the modern era in Europe, and the world of art likewise witnessed radical new beginnings and an impressive variety of styles. Concurrent positions quite often constituted opposites; indeed, even within the works themselves, harmony and balance were emphasized alongside conflict and separation. Towards the end of the twentieth century, painters and sculptors took up the meanwhile “classical” style of modernism while also exploring their colleagues from the past in their work. 

The exhibition was curated by Karin Schick, director of the Hilti Art Foundation. 

A media guide developed in collaboration with the company tonwelt provides an insight into the works on display and their historical contexts.
