Of the purchased works, 37 artists are not previously represented in the collection. Several of the new works come from exhibitions held in recent years, including "Ghosts" by Maurizio Cattelan, "Home" by Rashid Johnson, and "Cretan's mysteries" by Monica Sjöö.

In the spring, Lap-See Lam's newly acquired film installation "Floating sea palace" will be on display in the exhibition "Fish man, fish man", May 10–August 24. Other new additions include "At land" by Maya Deren, which will be shown in the exhibition "The underground sky" at Moderna Museet in Stockholm, until January 11, 2026. Kris Lemsalu's "River rock bird sky" can be viewed in Moderna Museet in Malmö's exhibition "About the absurd drama that is also life".

The new art can also be seen in October in the exhibition "New acquisitions and the art of collecting".
