Visite is an exhibition of contemporary art focusing on three main lines of enquiry: Existence – Space – History. With some sixty outstanding works by, among others, Rebecca Horn, Katharina Sieverding, Gerhard Richter and Wolfgang Tillmans, it presents artistic reflections on the philosophical conditions of human existence.
