"Last Chance! Contemporary German and American Art from The Froehlich Collection "
1999-06-05 until 0000-00-00
Tate Gallery, Liverpool
Liverpool, , UK United Kingdom

For nearly twenty years, the German industrialist Josef Froehlich and his wife Anna have been collecting art from post-war Germany and America. Their aim has been to focus on certain artists, including Andy Warhol, Bruce Nauman, Joseph Beuys and Georg Baselitz, and to collect their work in some depth. The result is the Froehlich Collection, one of the finest private collections of contemporary art in the world, a large selection of which will be displayed at Tate Gallery Liverpool.

To capture the unique spirit of the Froehlich Collection, this exhibition explores the contrasts and similarities between the work of a geographically diverse group of artists. Warhols iconic images of the rich and famous, and his glamorous portrayals of sites of violence, are included alongside the large, brooding paintings of Georg Baselitz and the dynamic drawings of Joseph Beuys. Eyecatching and significant, this collection is not to be missed.
