German Art Now introduces 14 major works recently acquired by the Museum as well as 5 works on long-term loan, all of which further substantiate the Museum’s collection of 20th-century German art as one of the largest and most comprehensive in the world. The artists represented in German Art Now are Georg Baselitz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Jörg Immendorff, Anselm Kiefer, Markus Lüpertz, A. R.
