April 13 - August 7, 2022
Focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, the exhibition entitled And Now the Good News brought together a comprehensive selection of works from the Annette and Peter Nobel Collection. Curated by Christoph Doswald, the exhibition traced the history of modern art while addressing some of the most critical issues in science, culture, and politics over the last 150 years. The exhibition featured around 300 works by 164 artists who used various media—such as painting, photography, collage, drawing, installation, and video—to display some of the most important periods in modern and contemporary art.
Taking the newspaper as an intellectual starting point, And Now the Good News focused on the relationship between text and news, the ways in which the invention of photography shaped society, and the powerful effects totalitarian systems had on mass media. The exhibition highlighted turning points such as the peace movement following World War II, the relationship between media industries and consumer culture, and the critical media discourse that emerged in the arts in the wake of globalization. It also depicted the transformation of concepts such as gender, religion, and ethnicity in art and media, as well as the development of social media society.

A closer look at the life and works of the artist Barbara Kruger, who is represented with two striking works in the exhibition And Now The Good News, a selection of works from the Nobel Collection.
1638, the year Louis XIV was born –his second name, Dieudonné, alluding to his God-given status– saw the diffusion of a cult of maternity encouraged by the very devout Anne of Austria, in thanks for the miracle by which she had given birth to an heir to the French throne. Simon François de Tours (1606-1671) painted the Queen in the guise of the Virgin Mary, and the young Louis XIV as the infant Jesus, in the allegorical portrait now in the Bishop’s Palace at Sens.
When Karl XII of Sweden was defeated by Tsar Peter the Great of Russia in 1709, he fled to the Ottoman Empire and settled in Bender with his entourage for five years.
