The selection includes a wide variety of works by pioneering artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Marlene Dumas, Damien Hirst, Mike Kelley, Jeff Koons, Albert Oehlen, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Cindy Sherman, and Christopher Wool—alongside a younger generation including Glenn Brown, Nathalie Djurberg, Tom Friedman, Mark Grotjahn, and Terence Koh.
