More than a third of Ernst Hermanns&#8217; complete works, including his hall-sized \u00abD\u00fcsseldorfer Raum\u00bb, are among them. Ulrich R\u00fcckriem is represented with numerous works. Space-filling works or groups of works are contributed by, among others: Ai Weiwei (CN), Song Dong (CN), Ulrich Erben (DE), Norbert Frensch (DE), Hamish Fulton (UK), Hayato Goto (JP), Nikolaus Koliusis (AT), Richard Long (UK), Blinky Palermo (DE), Gerlinde Beck (DE), Erwin Wortelkamp (DE).<\/p>\n<p>In the series of works from ancient China, a monumental, 90 cm high marble head of Buddha from the Northern Qi dynasty (550-577 CE) literally stands out. Other heads and statues in stone or terracotta date from around the same time (386-907 CE). The Collection attaches great importance to the fact that funerary sculptures communicate something of the original context.<\/p>\n<p>Separate sections are devoted to statues and reliefs from Gandh\u0101ra (Afghanistan\/Pakistan, 1st-4th c.), Ayutthaya (Thailand, 17th-18th c.) and the Khmer (Cambodia), as well as 19th century artefacts (screens, ceramics, scroll paintings) from Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/museumdkm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/till01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/museumdkm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/till01.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/museumdkm.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/till01-300x203.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" title=\"\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>The cover picture of the opening exhibition <em>Lines of Silent Beauty<\/em> at Museum DKM is taken from the photography section: Ulrich Tillmann&#8217;s \u00abMeditations\u00bb.
