After his retrospective at Haus der Kunst Munich (2012), his recent Japan survey (National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, 2016/17) and his solo show in K20 – Kunstsammlung NRW (2020-21), this exhibition with around 105 works is one of his most comprehensive to date. A new series by Thomas Ruff, entitled Tableaux chinois, based on propaganda photography from a magazine for foreign relations from the PR China and coffee table books on Mao's life and the history of the great achievements of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1950s and 1970s, will have its premier in Asia.
