Heinz Beck (lawyer)
Heinz Beck (* 1923 in Meerane ; † 1988 ) was a Düsseldorf lawyer and patron of the arts ; the Beck collection is in the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen.
Life
Beck was enthusiastic about modern art early on, but did not have the means to purchase paintings or sculptures. Therefore, he concentrated on multiples , edition works and prints , and with a relatively small investment of capital, he brought together 2,600 works. Virtually none of the important artists are missing. There are works by Andy Warhol to Timm Ulrichs and Roy Lichtenstein . Beck first tried to give the pictures to the city of Hilden, where he grew up. However, they were not prepared to raise the necessary capital for the maintenance and presentation of the collection. This is how the screen prints and edition objects, the famous multiple art of the 1960s and 1970s, ended up in the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen.
