Christian Schad Foundation
The Christian Schad Foundation Aschaffenburg (CSSA) was founded in 1999. It preserves the artistic and private estate of the painter Christian Schad (1894–1982) and prepares the work in terms of art history .
history
The foundation was established in 1999 as a dependent foundation of the city of Aschaffenburg . She presides over an advisory board to which the artist Bettina Schad's widow, who died in 2002, also belonged. The foundation moved into the rebuilt building of the former Löwenapotheke on Aschaffenburg Stiftsplatz. With the renovation of the technical college building in Pfaffengasse - Museumsmeile - the Schad Foundation, with the Christian Schad Archive as a research archive accessible to the public, as well as suitable exhibition rooms, will also have a new home.
tasks
The foundation manages around 800 works by the artist, including paintings, hand drawings and drafts, prints, shadographies, numerous collages, Resopal pictures and plastered works.
After its completion [out of date] , a large part of the estate that Schad's widow Bettina had transferred to the Christian Schad Foundation Aschaffenburg will be exhibited in the Christian Schad Museum in Aschaffenburg.
In cooperation with the foundation, exhibitions by Christian Schad took place in 2008 in the Leopold Museum , Vienna and in 2009 in the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag .
