This presentation brings together a dozen of artists for whom sculpture, and by extension a heightened attention to the materiality of their works, play a key role. The selected works sketch out cultural, social and political histories, revealing the traces of& collective and individual memory imbued within found objects, material experimentations or certain artisanal techniques. From the forged-iron architecture inherited from nineteenth-century engineering to the struggle for women’s and workers’ rights and environmental activism in the 1970s and 1980s in the United States, these works are rooted in historical epochs. The New Collection Display weaves a dialogue between the museum’s existing collection and a selection& of major works that have recently joined the Mudam Collection thanks to a donation by the German collectors Gaby and Wilhelm Schürmann, with the support of the members of the Cercle des collectionneurs of the museum. This ensemble of works, dating primarily from the 1990s and 2000s, has additionally strengthened the presence of women artists in the Mudam Collection.
