"Eye Watching" is a comprehensive publication that provides a detailed overview of the new acquisitions and donations to the North Rhine-Westphalia Art Collection. Under the leadership of Marion Ackermann, who served as artistic director from 2009 to 2016, significant purchases were made that not only expand existing collection areas such as the artist rooms and the Paul Klee collection but also specifically address gaps in the representation of female artists. This publication presents the acquisitions from this period for the first time and offers insights into Marion Ackermann's acquisition strategy. The diversity of the represented artists, including renowned figures such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, and Agnes Martin, is impressively documented in this volume. The combination of art historical analyses and the presentation of new works makes "Eye Watching" a valuable contribution for art lovers and professionals.
