Life

Julia M. Nauhaus was born in Zwickau . She studied Older and Modern German literary history and art history in Würzburg and received her doctorate from the University of Freiburg in 2002 . She then completed her academic traineeship at the Braunschweig City Museum , where she compiled the inventory catalog of the painting collection and published a volume of essays on the history of the same, before she was responsible for the painting, graphics and sculpture collections as custodian. On July 1, 2012, she took on her first management position and became director of the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg . Here she curated art, cultural-historical and graphic exhibitions and published numerous exhibition catalogs. In particular, she made outstanding contributions to Gerhard Altenbourg (1926–1989), whose works she put in relation to works by Martin Disler , Werner Heldt , Julius Bissier and Paul Eliasberg in the exhibition series "Altenbourg im Dialog" initiated by her . In 2014 she organized an extensive special exhibition for the artist on the 25th anniversary of his death and in 2015 was able to win a private Altenbourg collection from southern Germany as a donation for the museum. Nauhaus was chairwoman of the Gerhard Altenbourg Foundation from 2013 to March 2016 . She also focused on the restoration of the paintings, for which she successfully obtained third-party funding and donations. In a relatively short time, she succeeded in networking the Lindenau Museum nationwide and making it better known.

As a result of the non-renewal of her contract in Altenburg, which can be traced back to District Administrator Michaele Sojka , at the beginning of 2016, five of 16 members of the Board of Trustees for the Gerhard Altenbourg Prize , which is awarded every two years, declared their resignation from the Board of Trustees in protest. The 2016 award winner, Miriam Cahn from Switzerland , declined the award.

Julia M. Nauhaus took over the management of the Gemäldegalerie , the Kupferstichkabinett and the Glyptothek of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in April 2016 . She will end this position at the end of June 2020, originally she was appointed head of the department for a period of six years.
