ZOOM Exhibition: Faces and Works from the Würth Collection

While the works of Jean Arp and Georg Baselitz are familiar to the Würth Museum in Erstein, their faces often remain unknown to the public. ZOOM. Faces and Works from the Würth Collection brings together more than one hundred photographs of major figures from the 20th-century European and American art scene – including Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol, and David Hockney – and presents them alongside their artworks. The exhibition thus invites visitors to rediscover these artists in the dual role of model and creator. As the exhibition unfolds, this approach leads even further.
Major photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Sabine Weiss, Lee Miller, and Arnold Newman captured the gaze and energy of their peers in portraits that also revealed their own sensibilities. The exhibition thus invites visitors to engage in a dialogue between artists, from creator to photographer, capturing moments sometimes even in the intimacy of the studio.
