Living with Art: Dialogues with the Agnes & Frits Becht Collection

This temporary exhibition at the Winterthur Museum of Art presents the Agnes & Frits Becht Collection through a distinctive curatorial approach that emphasizes dialogue and lived experience. Rather than a conventional chronological or thematic arrangement, the exhibition invites visitors to discover how the collectors themselves engaged with their acquisitions, creating conversations between artworks across periods and media. The display reveals the personal narratives behind collecting, the aesthetic choices that define a collection, and the ways in which art becomes woven into daily life. By examining the Becht Collection in this dialogical framework, the exhibition offers insight into the collectors' vision and the enduring relationship between art and domestic space.
