"I could never put anything into a picture that is not currently in front of me..., it would be a pointless lie, nothing but a little deception," Lucian Freud once said. The importance of the real moment, the true counterpart, to the British painter is highlighted by his "Head of a Woman." The portrait from the late 1980s is among the highlights of the exhibition in Siegen, which is dedicated to "Gazes" - in the image, from the image, and on the image. Around 60 works from the museum's own collections are gathered for this, featuring pieces by figures such as Francis Bacon, Miriam Cahn and Bernhard Fuchs, Hans Haacke, Isaac Julien, or Sigmar Polke, and spanning various media. Looking somewhat skeptically, the "Peasant Couple from the Westerwald" stares into August Sander's camera in 1932. And in Omer Fast's film project "13 Steps," all eyes are on two climate activists, who lie masked on the floor. The eye person silently stares out from Maria Lassnig's drawing, while John Baldessari steps in front of the video camera to recite Sol LeWitt's 35 Sentences of Conceptual Art to us.
