The Chemnitz Art Collections have a significant collection of prints and a painting by Edvard Munch, which will be thankfully expanded for the exhibition with loans from international and national institutions and private collections. At the same time, contemporary works by artists such as Marina Abramović, Monica Bonvicini, Irene Bösch, Michael Morgner, Osmar Osten, Neo Rauch, Paula Rego and others will be shown in dialogue with Munch's works.

Munch's works on this existential theme are linked to contemporary positions dealing with loneliness, illness and loss.
