Behind Closed Doors presents the unusual collection of contemporary art housed in the Lichtenstein Turm in Coburg, Germany. The Stahlberg Collection, which has been expanded steadily since the 1980s, comprises installations, paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos, and works on paper by German and international artists. Kept largely behind closed doors-the same doors that kept Ulrich von Lichtenstein prisoner for thirty-six years, after his affair with the wife of Duke Johann Casimir was discovered in 1597-the Stahlberg Collection will now be opened to the public. This book presents 55 works of art selected and described by art historian and curator Candice M. Hamelin. It provides profound insights into the hitherto unknown collection of Angelika and Fritz Stahlberg.Featuring works by Alicja Kwade, Erwin Olaf, Valérie Belin, Muntean/Rosenblum, Kehinde Wiley, Jaehun Park, Sylvie Zijlmans, Neo Rauch, Mohau Modisakeng, and Isaac Julien, among others
