JEDERMANN COLLECTION – Set 5 from the Fotomuseum Winterthur Collection

Fotomuseum Winterthur’s acquisition of the high-profile American Jedermann Collection last year was something of an international coup. The list of artists reads like a Who’s Who of modern art and photography. The bulk of the Jedermann Collection focuses on conceptual photography of the 1960s and 1970s, and includes groundbreaking works by Vito Acconci, John Baldessari, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Gordon Matta-Clark, Sigmar Polke and Sol LeWitt, to name but a few. Another section of the collection addresses the media-reflective, post-modern photography of the 1980s, as represented by the works of Sherrie Levine, Hirsch Perlman, Cindy Sherman, Elaine Sturtevant and others. The Jedermann Collection exhibition documents some of the key artistic positions in contemporary art that have shaped today's generation. The acquisition hugely enhances the Fotomuseum Winterthur's already impressive collection and complements many important aspects of contemporary art represented there. The exhibition is accompanied by the Set 5 brochure. A Fotomuseum Winterthur exhibition curated by Thomas Seelig and Urs Stahel.
