Hilti Art Foundation Presents 'Abstract' Exhibition with Works by Herrera, Kandinsky, Rothko
The Facts
On June 12, 2026, the Hilti Art Foundation announced the exhibition 'Abstract,' featuring some 60 works and highlighting three significant new acquisitions by Carmen Herrera, Wassily Kandinsky, and Mark Rothko. The show, on view through May 17, 2027, also includes works by Leiko Ikemura and other paintings and sculptures from the foundation's own collection. The exhibition illustrates three distinct forms of abstraction—departure from the object, geometric construction, and color-field painting—and underscores the global nature of the movement through the transnational biographies of the artists.
The Signal
The exhibition signals the Hilti Art Foundation's deepening commitment to abstraction as a historical and ongoing force, positioning its collection as a site for cross-generational dialogue. For collectors, the inclusion of major figures like Rothko and Kandinsky alongside living artists such as Herrera and Ikemura reinforces the market value of abstraction as a enduring category, while the foundation's acquisition strategy suggests confidence in these artists' long-term significance.
