Jump into the future – Art from the 90’s and 2000’s. The Borgmann Donation

November 26, 2017–March 4, 2018

Four works—Supplement* 1990 (1989—a portfolio containing eight works), Angola to Vietnam*, 1989 (1989), Figure I-III, Accretions (1992), and Brasil, 1989 (1988)—as well as two catalogues by Christopher Williams were included in the exhibition Jump into the future – Art from the 90’s and 2000’s. The Borgmann Donation at the Stedelijk Museum. The exhibition was a group presentation of works dating from the 1990s and early 2000s from the collection of Thomas Borgmann. The exhibition’s title aimed to reflect Borgmann's prescience in acquiring works by a new generation of artists. 
 
Jump into the future followed Borgmann's donation to the Stedelijk of more than 600 works in 2016, which also included work by fellow gallery artists Isa Genzken and Wolfgang Tillmans. "I have closely followed the Stedelijk ever since my first visit in the 1960s," Borgmann, who is German, said in a statement following the announcement of the donation, "This museum felt like a natural home for these works." Williams's Angola to Vietnam (1989) is highlighted in news of the donation published in Artnet.
