Collection in the South Wing

The South Wing currently presents a selection of works that have all become part of the museum's collection in recent years. Experience masterpieces by Catherine Opie, Nan Goldin, and Martha Rosler, among others.

American Martha Rosler's photomontages, where images from homes in lifestyle magazines are combined with images from the Vietnam War, date from 1967-1972. The series, titled House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home, is, however, brand new to the museum's collection and a testament to Louisiana's ambitious goal of collecting along several tracks – in this case, to “fill gaps in history” by adding a significant work by an important artist not previously represented in the collection.

In addition to the three main works, works by Robert Longo, Julie Mehretu, and Rosemarie Trockel, among others, are displayed.

Louisiana's collection is a dynamic entity that not only continues to grow but also moves around the house, where it is included in selected presentations throughout the year. This is necessary to make room for the changing exhibitions, which the house's permanent works thus become a kind of sounding board for. But at the same time, it provides an opportunity to display individual works in new ways and in varying constellations.
