Hegenbarth Collection Berlin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hegenbarth Collection Berlin is a private art collection with works from the 20th and 21st centuries, which are made accessible to the public in changing exhibitions. The collection is managed by Jutta and Christopher Breu, who also founded an exhibition cabinet in 2014 under the name of Mr. Hegenbarth . This created a place in Berlin that is specifically dedicated to drawing and graphics . In addition to exhibitions of works by Josef Hegenbarth , contemporary artists who work in a relationship to Hegenbarth's subjects or techniques are given the opportunity to make individual presentations or participate in themed shows and an interested audience the opportunity to exchange and discuss in many events.

location

The Hegenbarth Collection has been at its new location at Laubacher Straße 38, in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district , since July 2019 . From November 2014 to June 2019 the Hegenbarth Collection was located at Nürnberger Straße 49 in Berlin-Schöneberg .

Artist

The collection honors the draftsman, painter, illustrator and graphic artist Josef Hegenbarth (1884–1962) with its name . His colored and black and white pen and brush drawings form the focus of the holdings.

Alignment and inventory

The collection includes works from around 1900: paintings and drawings, mainly on paper (hand drawings), prints, portfolios, series, book and paper objects as well as a library with illustrated books, catalogs and secondary literature.

The main focus of the collection is on illustration and book art . Picture stories in children's books, illustrations for literary works and artist books are just as important as comics , graphic novels and animations. The starting point for this is an extensive group of literary drawings by Hegenbarth in the collection, including the detailed portfolios for the Nibelungenlied , Lied von der Glocke and Aus dem Leben eines Nibelungen from the 1920s.

Further thematic focuses of the collection are on the representation of animals and humans, on the one hand in everyday surroundings such as zoo and circus, coffee house and cabaret, at work and in street scenes, on the other hand in portraits or as figures in the Bible and legends .

program

The Hegenbarth Collection Berlin prepares two to three individual or themed exhibitions in its own cabinet every year. In addition, she is regularly represented with loans at exhibitions in other museums and institutions.

The exhibitions offer the public and trade visitors the opportunity to get to know the many facets of Hegenbarth's work. His life and work during the various political systems of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the Weimar Republic , National Socialism and the post-war period in the GDR and FRG will also be examined.

The exhibition program puts Josef Hegenbarth in a dialogue with artist colleagues and friends of his time such as B. Gerhard Altenbourg , POL Cassel , Otto Dix , Olaf Gulbransson , Karl Hubbuch , Paul Klee , Alfred Kubin , Guan Liang, Max Lingner , Alfred Lörcher , August Macke , Gerhard Marcks , Ewald Mataré , Emil Nolde , Rudolf Schlichter or Renée Sintenis .

Likewise, the link is made with today's artists who work thematically or technically similar to Hegenbarth or who find their way into the collection with selected works such as B. Thomas Baumhekel (painting and drawing), Matthias Beckmann (drawing), Wolfram Erber (drawing), Heinz Handschick (drawing), Corinne Laroche (drawing), Nanne Meyer (drawing), Wolf Suschitzky (photography), Gabriela Volanti (paper objects ), Sigurd Rompza , Bodo Rott (drawing and lithography ), Nicole Wendel ( performance ), Stephen Wilks (graphics and sculpture) a. a.
