Is That All There Is?

This is a question many people ask when standing in front of a work of art: am I missing something, or is there more to see? Sometimes, the answer is straightforward. The work is complete in itself. Its material, its form, its presence are enough. In other cases, something seems to be missing, or it appears as part of an ongoing process or a more complex narrative. The question can also extend beyond the object itself, touching on the limits of human existence. Curators Frédéric de Goldschmidt and Gregory Lang have brought together works by more than 50 artists from the collection, each offering a different response. Some works are fully present; others point to what is partial or evolving, or confront the idea that there may — or may not — be anything more.
