Pablo Picasso and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner are among the most important representatives of modernism. In a juxtaposition, the exhibition is dedicated to the hitherto neglected research question of connections and differences between the works of these exceptional artists. It focuses on themes that played a special role for both artists. These include motifs such as portraits, depictions of bathers and entertainment culture.

The Skulptur Projekte, which have taken place every ten years since 1977, have established themselves as a globally significant exhibition that explores the relationship between art and the public. In summer 2027, the sixth edition of Skulptur Projekte will celebrate its 50th anniversary under the artistic direction of 'What, How and for Whom/WHW'.
