Mythologies

This exhibition is built around some of the most important pieces in the Walker's collection. Including works by Joseph Beuys, May Esch, Katharina Fritsch, Anselm Kiefer, Paul McCarthy, Julie Mehretu, Sigmar Polke, Charles Ray, and Paul Thek, Mythologies assembles a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, multiples, and sound installation, around the idea of historical or contemporary mythologies.

Beuys, Kiefer, and Polke are questioning mythologies when reflecting on troubled history and the notion of national identity; mythology again comes into play when Charles Ray shapes a conflicted monument to the late 20th century in his Unpainted Sculpture of a wrecked car. The installation of the Walker Art Center's collection is made possible by the Henry Luce Foundation, Inc.
