The Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe presents works of art from eight centuries on around 2,000 square meters of exhibition space at its interim location at the ZKM I Center for Art and Media.

Visitors to the dynamic exhibition KunsthalleKarlsruhe@ZKM - A New Look at the Collection can expect to see around 600 exhibits from the late Middle Ages to the present day. Different schools, genres, media and styles of art enter unusually relate with each other in a new context. 

The prologue to the exhibition is a multi-channel film projection by Anna Henckel-Donnersmarck focusing on the main building of the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, which has been abandoned due to renovation work, and creates an impressive transition to the newly conceived collection presentation. On display are popular major works by Matthias Grünewald and Hans Baldung Grien, by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens and Jean Siméon Chardin, by Rachel Ruysch and Marie Guilhelmine Benoist, by Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin and Max Beckmann, Max Ernst, René Margritte or Gerhard Richter, Sean Scully and Pia Fries.

Two high-ranking new additions to the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe also set new accents. The Röchling Collection, with paintings from the 16th to 18th centuries, was bequeathed to the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, and the Stiegler Collection. The latter includes photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries, which impressively trace the development of the young medium.
