Collection

The Ludwig Collection is one of the largest and most important art collections in the world. The collection in the Ludwig Forum comprises around 3.000 works. Quite a few of them are referenced in every book on art history and have become part of the global heritage of art in the 20th century.

Of special importance were the photo-realist painting Richard by Chuck Close or the true-to-life appearing sculpture Supermarket Lady by Duane Hanson. Peter Ludwig brought both works to Aachen in 1970, still before the new realism gets known at the legendary documenta 5 in 1972.

Artists of the exhibition: John de Andrea, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Chuck Close, Don Eddy, Robert Graham, Duane Hanson, Keith Haring, Jasper Johns, Alan Johnes, Jeff Koons, Roy Lichtenstein, Philip Pearlstein, Raymond Pettibon, Mel Ramos, John Salt, George Segal, Robert Smithson, Andy Warhol, Garry Winogrand.
