Paintings from Sammlung Goetz

The title of the exhibition combines two words that result in a contradiction: While "random" signifies something unintended, unpredictable, and devoid of relationship; a sample describes a recognizable structure, based on repetition, which can always be continued and expanded.

"Random Sampling" draws from a collection with an overwhelming number of outstanding works. It sheds light on crucial positions in painting, whereby the selection of artists and works is based on a broad understanding of the term. The exhibition spans a period of nearly 50 years, thereby also questioning the definition and constaints of the contemporary.
