The publication „Face to Face“ presents holdings from two collections. The Daros Collection includes outstanding works by European and North-American artists of the second half of the twentieth century, for instance Sigmar Polke, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, or Robert Ryman, while the Daros-Latinamerica Collection concentrates on positions of Latin-American art, from pioneers like Hélio Oiticica or Lygia Clark to young contemporary artists. In comparison, surprising parallels become apparent as well as frictions and dissonances. Beyond geographical categories, but along central themes such as the body, consumer culture or conceptual approaches, a multi-faceted panorama of the art of the late 20th century ensues.
