building. These exhibition rooms offer art the largest possible freedom through their clarity and precision. Hilti Art Foundation With the new exhibition spaces, the Hilti Art Foundation continues and intensifies its long-standing collaboration with the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. A visible expression of this connection is the design of the new building in the form of a cube. Conceived by the Basel-based company Morger Partner Architekten, the building forms a unified presence with the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein directly adjacent. The cubic form, as well as the construction and material of the facade, reflect the common bonds of the two institutions under the aegis of a single museum. As a further sign of togetherness, access to the new exhibition spaces is provided through a shared entrance with Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. Collection The collection is the heart of the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, from which all other areas and activities develop. The collection is the driving force behind the exhibition programme and provides the impetus for our broad and active education programme. It also represents the larger part of the state's art collection and as such is an important and integral part of the public image of Liechtenstein. The collection of international modern and contemporary art covers the period from the 19th century to the present; the acquisition policy focuses on 20th and 21st-century works, especially sculptures and installations. Special attention has been given to the selection of independent artistic positions. Furthermore, the artworks are not only of the highest quality but also engage in a stimulating dialogue with other works. The acquisition policy intentionally avoids limitations of geography, style, epoch or specific media; instead, it pursues themes of particular significance in modern and contemporary art. Abstract and minimal art, conceptual art and Arte Povera encounter anthropological approaches of the kind found in symbolism, futurism and surrealism, or in the individual mythologies of Joseph Beuys and in other aspects of Arte Povera. In 2007, the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein together with the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen and the Museum of Modern Art, Frankfurt acquired the collection of Cologne-based gallerist Rolf Ricke that includes works by Richard Artschwager, Bill Bollinger, Donald Judd, Gary Kuehn, Fabian Marcaccio, Steven Parrino, David Reed, Richard Serra, Keith Sonnier or Jessica Stockholder. Although the collection is divided between three, in terms of possessive right, it remains intact as the partner museums will have equal access to the complete stocks. Exhibitions Past exhibitions include Gary Kuehn, Otto Freundlich,
