Anniversary year 2025

2025 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the tenth anniversary of the Hilti Art Foundation exhibition building. We are delighted to announce our exhibition programme for this exceptional year.

Silver Suits You
25 Years Loving Art
February 28–June 9, 2025
Opening: February 27, 6pm

The anniversary of Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein begins with the exhibition Silver Suits You. On show are twenty-five works from the collection: one artwork acquired in each year from 2020 to 2024. To reflect the celebratory year 2025, three works being considered for acquisition will be on display. These works are by younger artists and focus on topics of social relevance, opening up perspectives for the future. Additionally, stories were collected that have been particularly important for the country and the region since 2000. Illustrated by Eliane Schädler and Adam Vogt, they create a space for visitors to engage with the history of the collection.

On the Street
April 11–August 31, 2025
Opening: April 10, 6pm

On the Street spotlights how artists since the 1960s have explored public space, questioning and appropriating it and opening up new spaces of meaning. Abandoning the protected institutional setting of the ‘white cube’, they take to the streets as sites for radical and poetic actions or as a source of inspiration for their works. Performative actions, interventions and site-specific works enable a firsthand experience of the profound connections between human beings and their environment. In four themed spaces—from historical moments to social agendas—the exhibition unfolds a multitude of artistic perspectives. Each room begins with artworks by pioneers of the 1960s.

In the Context of the Collection:
Henrik Olesen
June 27, 2025–January 18, 2026
Opening: June 26, 6pm

In his artistic research, Henrik Olesen (b. 1967 in Esbjerg, Denmark) engages in depth with the historiography of art. Appropriating various sources consisting of images and text, he adds queer—particularly gay—positions that in some cases are still marginalised, criminalised or rendered invisible even today. As part of the exhibition series In the Context of the Collection, his works enter into a dialogue with pieces by the artist and writer Isidore Isou (1925 in Botoşani, Romania–2007 in Paris) who is regarded as the founder of the Lettrism movement.

Tony Cokes
September 26, 2025–March 1, 2026
Opening: September 25, 6pm

American artist Tony Cokes (b. 1965 in Richmond, Virginia) has been invited to engage in a dialogue with the Kunstmuseum’s collection. The exhibition will feature a combination of Cokes’ existing works, a new commission and a selection of works from the collection. Cokes’ source materials include found film footage, pop music, journalism, philosophical texts, and social media. Recently he has expanded his focus to explore the history and the reception of conceptual and minimal art. The show focuses on ideas of sampling, remixing and reinterpretation not only in a conceptual sense, but also in the installation of the works themselves.

Hilti Art Foundation:
In Touch
Encounters in the Collection
May 16, 2025–April 12, 2026
Opening: May 15, 6pm

This exhibition conceives of art as a powerful space of connectivity, contact and exchange. Forty paintings and sculptures from the collection of the Hilti Art Foundation span roughly one hundred years of creation; twenty-five artists from the twentieth century interact via their works and at the same time enter into a dialogue with the public. The exhibition revolves around three subject areas: Connected; Same, same but different and Across Time.
Curated by Karin Schick.

On June 28, the Hilti Art Foundation and Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein are celebrating with a summer party and an open-house day.
