Berlin, 17 August, 2015 (kk) - Alex Katz, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke and, of course, Günther Uecker – all of them work on the pulse of the times. Additionally, their works are part of the renowned collection of Alison and Peter W. Klein. Some 40 objects from this unique collection will be on display at Ketterer Kunst in Berlin as of 13 September.

The art that Alison and Peter W. Klein have compiled makes for one of the most acclaimed private collections in Germany's south-west. It comprises around 1900 works by contemporary artists active in painting, graphic art and photography. Furthermore, it contains Australian Aboriginal art, a field that receives increasing attention.

The internationally oriented collection by the couple Alison and Peter Klein, which found a home in its own museum in 2007, is deeply rooted in the Swabian town Eberdingen-Nussdorf, the hometown of Peter W. Klein. The businessman and his American wife have been collecting art for more than 30 years. When it comes to acquiring new objects the Kleins are solely guided by their passion and excellent taste - and have proven an extremely good feel for quality.

On occasion of the opening of the exhibition "Zu Gast bei Ketterer Kunst Berlin - Die Sammlung Alison und Peter W. Klein", Adrienne Braun, arts and culture journalist and author, will deliver an address on Sunday, 13 September at 11 am. Prior to that Robert Ketterer and Peter W. Klein will welcome guests.
