The Kunsthalle Tübingen is an exhibition building for temporary exhibitions in Tübingen . It was founded in 1971.

history

The private initiative of the sisters Paula Zundel and Margarete Fischer-Bosch , daughters of Robert Bosch , enabled the city of Tübingen to start building an art gallery in the early 1970s. It was to become an exhibition space in memory of Paula's husband, the painter Georg Friedrich Zundel . The art gallery was finally built in a new district on the northern edge of the city center. It is a single-storey building with a skylight, which enables very good lighting conditions.

From the beginning to the end of 2005 it was headed by Götz Adriani . The international reputation of the Kunsthalle was established in the early years under the direction of Adriani. A characteristic of Adriani's understanding of art was the programmatic change between contemporary art and art of classical modernism .

The Kunsthalle celebrated great success with monographic exhibitions of famous painters who founded modernism. There were exhibitions on, among others, Paul Cézanne , 1978, 1982, 1993, 2005; Edgar Degas , 1984, 1995, 2005; Pablo Picasso , 1986, 2002, 2005; Auguste Renoir , 1996. The annual number of visitors varies greatly between 440,000 in 1996 and 30,000 in 2013.

From 2006 to March 2009, Martin Hellmold was the director of the Kunsthalle. Until 2013 Daniel J. Schreiber was responsible for the exhibition program as managing curator . Due to extensive renovation work and the expansion of an additional exhibition room, the art gallery was closed until spring 2017.

From March 2016 to September 2017 Holger Kube Ventura was director and artistic director of the Kunsthalle. Nicole Fritz has been the director of the Kunsthalle since January 2018 .

The Foundation

In 2003 the art gallery was transformed from an institution within the city administration of Tübingen into an independent institution with a charitable character. The newly established foundation under civil law enables the economic survival of the Kunsthalle, as the foundation's assets consist of private donations and high financial support from the Zundel family .
