The purpose of the foundation is to promote the visual and performing arts with a focus on contemporary glass and photography as well as to promote research and teaching in engineering in the fields of stone, earth, glass and ceramics.

organization

The foundation is a legal foundation under civil law. It is represented by the board. The executive board is the chairwoman Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek.

Seat

The foundation maintains a museum in the Schwabing district of Munich. The museum and at the same time the headquarters of the foundation are located in a listed Art Nouveau villa that was built in 1911 by German Bestelmeyer for the sculptor Georg Albertshofer as a studio and residence.

Art collection

In its internationally oriented collection and exhibition activities, the foundation concentrates on contemporary sculptures and photography. The special thing about the sculptures is that they are made of glass, a material rarely used in contemporary art. The prerequisites for this direction in art were created in the 1960s with the so-called studio glass movement . The foundation's collection captures new directions in photography and in contemporary glass represented by works by international artists.
