Sadie Coles HQ's Lisa Brice, Paloma Varga Weisz in Herrenchiemsee Palace Exhibition
On June 16, 2026, the exhibition 'Are We Still up to it? – Art & Democracy' featuring over 50 works from the Sammlung Moderne Kunst opened at Herrenchiemsee Palace in Chiemsee. The show runs until October 18, 2026, and presents pieces by Lisa Brice, Paloma Varga Weisz, Pablo Picasso, Max Beckmann, Rosemarie Trockel, Joseph Beuys, Maria Lassnig and Gerhard Richter across ten chapters in the palace's unfinished historic rooms. A new staircase presentation by Varga Weisz accompanies the display, which references the 1948 constitutional convention held at the site.
The Signal
The inclusion of Sadie Coles HQ artists alongside canonical modern figures in a UNESCO World Heritage palace signals sustained institutional interest in their practices and positions the exhibition as a high-visibility platform for contemporary voices engaging democratic themes. Collectors and curators may view the pairing of post-war and living artists in this architectural context as an indicator of long-term market and historical relevance for the represented estates and estates.
