The collection, which was assembled over 45 years by Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch, includes more than 300 paintings, sculptures, and photos. One hundred and eighty items will be exhibited, including paintings and sculptures by André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Joan Miró, André Masson, and Yves Tanguy, among others. The American Abstract Expressionists are the highlight of the show, with work by Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman, and Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo are also represented. The Pietzsch collection has been shown publicly only twice before, once in Dresden and once in 2005 at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a small museum in Venice.
