After four decades of museum and exhibition operations, the Neue Pinakothek is undergoing fundamental refurbishment. The museum is therefore closed for several years. During this time, selected major works of 19th century painting and sculpture are exhibited in the Alte Pinakothek and in the Sammlung Schack. The selection ranges from classicism and Romanticism to the beginning of modernism. Under the title ‘From Turner to van Gogh’, the 19th century is now being relaunched in a different form. The works of the Romantic artist Caspar David Friedrich, the French Impressionists and the pioneers of modernism from Édouard Manet and Claude Monet to Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh will continue to be on display. Newly exhibited are groups of works by the important Realists Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller and Adolph Menzel, which could not be shown in previous years. One cabinet brings together intimate interior depictions from the Symbolist and fin de siècle eras.

The exhibition "Colors of Japan – Woodcuts from the Collection of the Bavarian State Library" presents masterpieces of Japanese color woodblock prints from three centuries: from the beginnings of multi-color printing in the mid-18th century to shin-hanga, the so-called "New Prints" of the 20th century. In Japan during the Edo period (1603–1868), these "pictures of the floating world" (ukiyo-e), as these prints are also called, were an integral part of urban life and entertainment culture. Popular motifs included beauties, stage stars, and landscapes. What distinguishes Japanese color woodblock prints is the combination of artistic excellence and craftsmanship. The special stylistic characteristics and diverse cultural and historical references of this art form are evident in works by artists such as Utamaro, Hokusai, Hiroshige, Yoshitoshi, and Hasui. Originating as a commercial art form and produced in large numbers, many prints are now considered works of art of the highest rank.

The first institutional survey exhibition of Shu Lea Cheang (b. 1954, Tainan, Taiwan) takes the taiwanese-american artist’s first feature film Fresh Kill (1994) as a starting point, presenting the artist and filmmaker’s world-building practices and updating works from the past three decades. Cheang moved to New York City in the 1980s, where she joined the vibrant scene of independent cinema and started experimenting with video, live TV, and network technologies. Since the 1990s, her work has challenged and furthered our understanding of digital culture. Cheang anticipated the advance of alternative currencies, investigated gamified societies, and probed biotechnologies. Her works often develop over several years through different stages and media, including video, installation, performance, and various forms of cinema. The exhibition updates works and artefacts into new landscape formations extending through four gallery spaces. Trash appears as a primary theme that leads Cheang’s investigation into the entanglement of biosphere and technosphere. Each gallery is its own world in which internet-based installation and software interaction invite the audience to explore and play.
