Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Liliane Lijn, London

Although Liliane Lijn might best be known for her “kinetic art”, her artistic scope goes far beyond movement. Since the 1960s, Lijn has pioneered a new way of working with a multitude of materials, from plastics to minerals, exploring the intersection between language and image.

In the Studio Ali Cherri, Paris and Beirut

Ali Cherry’s practice consists of video installations, drawings, sculptures and films. Exploring different geographies of violence, the Lebanese artist based in Paris often works with broken and damaged artefacts of history. Traumatic experiences of violence are not something to be hidden, but instead used as fuel for contemplating the future.

In the Studio Huda Takriti, Vienna

Huda Takriti was born in Syria, where she studied art at the University of Damascus. Working as a trans-disciplinary artist, Takriti uses video, film, installation, painting and performative situations to challenge traditional perceptions of history and politics.

Collector Stories Joëlle Romba, Berlin

Joëlle Romba is an expert on contemporary art and is also the director of Sotheby’s Berlin. She lives with her husband Eric, their two young daughters and their large dog in a villa dating from the turn of the century in Berlin-Nikolassee.

The exhibition Mapping the 60s is based on the thought that substantial sociopolitical movements of the twenty-first century have their roots in the 1960s. Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, for example, have built on the anti-racist and feminist upheavals of yesteryear—as have current debates on war, mass media and mechanization, consumerism, and capitalism.
