After previous exhibitions in Eindhoven (1984), Luxemburg (2000), Barcelona and Graz, the Collection will be on display at the Herbert Foundation in Ghent from June 20, 2013 onward.

Titled As if it Could, ouverture, this first exhibition can be seen as the fourth act in the development of the Collection. The title points to the public role the Collection has taken up with the establishment of the Foundation after four decades of private collecting.

Penck, Richard Prince, Gerhard Richter, Thomas Schütte, Jan Vercruysse, Didier Vermeiren and Franz West.
