from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Frankfurt am Main, around 350 sculptures and murals can be seen in public spaces , for which the portal provides brief profiles with information about the work of art, its location and the artists.

history

Even if the idea of art in public space has only recently emerged, there were already a number of publicly accessible works of art in the broadest sense in Frankfurt am Main before the 19th century. These included the public Frankfurt fountains and the exterior decoration of public and private houses and churches.

In the 19th century, a number of monuments were created, partly financed by the Frankfurt bourgeoisie as a donation. The focus of Frankfurt art, however, was clearly on the art collections and museums, which mostly went back to private initiatives and later often passed on to foundations or public institutions.

Between the beginning of the 1930s and the end of the 1960s, the Kunst am Bau programs created a series of works of art in public spaces. This was particularly true in the 1950s and 1960s. For the first time, this program was used to specifically promote works of art in public spaces. The works created in this way, however, were often of lesser artistic rank and were serial productions. The programs were criticized as a "job creation program for regional artists" and the obligation of building owners to invest part of the construction costs in art on site was abolished in 1967 at the federal level.

While some municipalities are continuing such programs and setting up funding programs for art in public spaces, developments in Frankfurt lagged behind. After the local elections in Hesse in 1977 , Walter Wallmann (CDU) was elected Lord Mayor of Frankfurt. During his tenure, a clear change began in urban development and cultural policy. Culture was now understood as a central “soft” location factor that should increase the attractiveness of the city and strengthen the population's identification with the city. On the one hand, the head of the cultural department, Hilmar Hoffmann , pursued a policy of investing in highly cultural objects such as the reconstruction of the Alte Oper and the Museumufer , but also a policy of improving the cityscape through art in public spaces.

In addition to the work of the Office for Science and Art and the Office for Overall Municipal Development and Urban Planning, private actors came on the scene at the same time to help develop art in public space in Frankfurt.

This was initially the Förderverein Schöneres Frankfurt e. V. In 1978/79 this association donated the Lucae fountain in front of the Alte Oper and in 1983 the Giò Pomodoros fountain on Goetheplatz . In 1986 Eduardo Chillida's work Ein Haus für Goethe was presented to the public. In 1990 the annual exhibition Contemporary Art in Urban Areas took place, in which 14 artists exhibited their works in the public space of the city center.

In addition, there were Frankfurt companies, such as the banks and insurance companies based there, who bought and set up a large number of works of art in public spaces, often in the vicinity of their own high-rises, from well-known artists with their own funds.

Internet portal of the city's cultural office

The Internet portal art in public space Frankfurt of the cultural office of the city of Frankfurt is supposed to show the many sculptures, fountains and sculptures in public space in Frankfurt both to the residents and to the tourists and to bring them closer through pictures and descriptions of their locations.
