Behind Closed Doors
55 Artworks from the Stahlberg Collection
Behind Closed Doors presents the unusual collection of contemporary art housed in the Lichtenstein Turm in Coburg, Germany. The Stahlberg Collection, which has been expanded steadily since the 1980s, comprises installations, paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos, and works on paper by German and international artists. Kept largely behind closed doors—the same doors that kept Ulrich von Lichtenstein prisoner for thirty-six years, after his affair with the wife of Duke Johann Casimir was discovered in 1597—the Stahlberg Collection will now be opened to the public. This book presents 55 works of art selected and described by the art historian and curator Candice M. Hamelin. It provides profound insights into the hither to unknown collection of Angelika and Fritz Stahlberg.
Artists: Valérie Belin, Isaac Julien, Alicja Kwade, Mohau Modisakeng, Muntean/Rosenblum, Erwin Olaf, Jaehun Park, Neo Rauch, Kehinde Wiley, Sylvie Zijlmans et. al.
