With the exhibition “New Works“, the Art Collection Deutsche Börse presents a selection of recent acquisitions. The presentation brings together works from different geographical regions in Europe, the USA and South Africa as well as in Central America, spanning a period from the mid-20th century to the present.

The artists represented focus on social and political issues, turning the spotlight on areas of tension in society and drawing attention to grievances. The far-reaching consequences of climate change or the diverse reasons for migration and flight find their way into the exhibition, as do questions about social justice or forms of political protest. In their exploration of essential social challenges, the artists develop individual yet universally comprehensible visual languages that offer space for dialogue.

The exhibition was curated by Anne-Marie Beckmann, director of the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation.
