RENDEZ-VOUS
Picasso, Chagall, Klein and their times
6 May 2023 until 29 October 2023
This year’s summer exhibition at the Heidi Horten Collection invites you to rendezvous with artists from the collection whose lives were touched by France; the exhibition follows them there to places representing a significant stage in their artistic development. Taken together, the importance of Paris is reflected – but also that of the Midi, the south of France — as catalyst and breeding ground for the emergence and dissemination of significant art movements of the twentieth century. The exhibition places a special focus on the work of Pablo Picasso, as 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of his death. The works of Marc Chagall and Yves Klein also feature prominently in the show, drawn from a large repertoire within the collection.
RENDEZVOUS likewise invites you to explore Heidi Horten’s personal world, which she shaped around the modernist Villa Dubeau on the Côte d'Azur. In this way the exhibition also playfully traces the sophisticated life of the collector, in which art occupied a special position.
With works by Pierre Bonnard, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Kees van Dongen, Jean Dubuffet, Jean Fautrier, Marie Laurencin, Fernand Léger, Pablo Picasso, Camille Pissarro, Serge Poliakoff, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Paul Signac, Chaim Soutine, Niki de Saint Phalle, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Maurice Utrillo, Maurice Vlaminck, and others.
Curators: Véronique Abpurg and Rolf Johannsen. Exhibition design: Itai Margula

Heidi Goëss-Horten, 1960ies Heidi Horten Collection
The first thematic exhibition is a tribute to the founder of the museum, Heidi Goëss-Horten. It spotlights art and fashion and their inspiring interplay at the new museum.
The “look” of women and looking at women, as well as other aspects associated with the feminine, are key themes in the Heidi Horten Collection. Based on these topics, the exhibition explores various thematic questions in eight chapters.
It covers a wide spectrum ranging from the eighteenth century to the present day, encompassing glamorous divas, modern avant-garde women, contemplative portraits, psychologically penetrating female images, fetish-like accessories, nudes as well as feminist counter-perspectives. These works belonged to the collector’s immediate world. They reveal her highly personal choice, and, in some way, reflect sides of her strong and self-confident personality.
In addition, the exhibition presents haute couture dresses with a focus on the 1980s by Christian Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Jean Patou and Jean-Louis Scherrer, made exclusively for Heidi Goëss-Horten. Fashion has been understood as a paradigm of modern culture since the nineteenth century, a seismograph of the here and now, of zeitgeist, society and its changes. Clothing is a medium of communication in fabric, it conceals and reveals in equal measure, is used as a means of self-expression as well as to protect and to cover the body.
This is not a fashion exhibition, but in this show art and fashion enter into a new relationship, an inner dialogue, enhanced by the collaboration with Viennese-born fashion designer Arthur Arbesser.
The succinct title LOOK! plays with the meaning of appearance, “look” and style, but can also be understood as an invitation to explore this feminine and probably most personal aspect of the Heidi Goëss-Horten Collection.
With works by Friedrich von Amerling, Francis Bacon, Alexander Calder, Kees van Dongen, Jean Dubuffet, Lyonel Feiniger, August Macke, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Mimmo Rotella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Andy Warhol and contemporary artworks by Sylvie Fleury, Gelatin, Lena Henke, Birgit Jürgenssen, Michèle Pagel, Philipp Timischl, and more.
