Exhibition Opening

THIS IS ME, THIS IS YOU. The Eva Felten Photography Collection 

Museum Brandhorst 19.10.2023 until 07.04.2024

With her generous donation, Munich collector Eva Felten enriches Museum Brandhorst’s holdings with well over 400 works by more than 140 artists from the 1930s to the immediate present. Iconic and poignant photographic works by Diane Arbus (1923–1971), Isaac Julien (*1960) and LaToya Ruby Frazier (*1982) fit into the museum's collection like a missing puzzle piece. The exhibition “This Is Me, This Is You” provides a first-time ever look at this collection of internationally significant photographs, that has grown over four decades. Since the beginning of her passion for collecting in the late 1980s, Eva Felten has focused in particular on the depiction of people—a focus that she has consistently continued in recent years, and which makes the collection unique in this form.  What unites the photographs is a sensitive view of the individual, of different ways of life, political attitudes, and inner conflicts, revealing a diverse panorama of images in the overall show.
