Among the works included in the exhibition:

Katharina Fritsch’s Still Life 7 (2017), in which a statue of St Aloysius, an Italian aristocrat who renounced his wealth and took a vow of chastity and poverty, is joined with an over-sized apple, a strawberry, and a seashell, which for Fritsch are female symbols, on a specially made pedestal. Aloysius is painted yellow to represent goodness, and the fruits and shell, which tempt the Saint, are black, to represent evil.

Martin Puryear’s The Way (2017), an eight-and-a-half-foot tall sculpture of a curved maple sapling rising from a pine base and culminating in a slender willow shoot.

Charles Ray’s sculpture Silver (2015), a life-size sculpture of a German shepherd dog cast in sterling silver.
