With the new presentation of the collection in the West Wing, Hamburger Bahnhof invites the public to reflect together on the role of art and cultural institutions for inclusion, engagement, and change.

Some 80 artworks, including paintings, works on paper, sculptures, photographs, videos, reflect the socio-political and economic factors that have shaped the city and the artistic practices that have emerged in it. The 60 artists* on display include Sibylle Bergemann, Rainer Fetting, Isa Genzken, Mona Hatoum, Emeka Ogboh, Anri Sala, Selma Selman, Isaac Chong Wai, and Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt.

For the first time, the National Gallery's holdings of contemporary art will enter into a long-term exchange with the art collection of the German Federal Government and the collection of the ifa - Institute for Foreign Cultural Relations. The exhibition will also be supplemented by significant positions acquired for the collection in the course of its run. Familiar major works are on view with rarely and in some cases never before shown works.
