The vision and creativity of György Kepes (1906-2001) and Frank Malina (1912-1981) are best characterized by the concept of universality expressed through experimentation in art, science, technology and radical innovation.

Allan Sekula (Erie, Pennsylvania, 1951) is one of the most outstanding contemporary documentarians.

One of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, Robert Capa was born in Budapest, on October 22, 1913, as Endre Ernő Friedmann. He started to work as a photographer in the 1930s, first as a correspondent of Dephot, a Berlin-based agency.

Anton Corbijn’s retrospective offers an overview of the Dutch photographer's oeuvre, spanning thirty years from the early video clips to the recent portraits. Corbijn has experimented in wide-ranging areas of modern visual culture.

The Ludwig Museum possesses a relatively small yet internationally significant collection of over 400 contemporary artworks. As the museum’s permanent exhibition is only able to show a small portion of the collection, we make an effort to present a fresh selection from time to time.
