history

Infobox of the Ahrenshoop Art Museum

On the initiative of the entrepreneur and art patron Guenter Roese , the idea arose in 2005 to firmly establish a place of memories and lively exchange in the Ahrenshoop artists' colony. On August 15, 2008, the info box was put into operation as the project documentation center. A little later, the jury decided on the design by Volker Staab , Staab Architects Berlin . The construction of the museum was supported 50% by grants from the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and 4 million euros in funding from the ERDF . Five years later, on August 16, 2013, the first citizens' event took place in the presence of Chancellor Angela Merkel . The non-profit association is solely responsible for running the museum. The Ahrenshoop Art Museum is financed from its own funds, supplemented by grants from friends and donors.

architecture

Based on the thatched houses typical for the region, the Ahrenshoop Art Museum forms a grouping of five museum cubes: from the outside seemingly individual houses, visible from afar thanks to brass panels, but from the inside these merge into an overall building complex that offers numerous possibilities for various exhibition designs. The specialty here are u. a. the daylight rooms with skylights that distribute light through integrated prisms and are perceived as almost shadow-free room light. The architectural concept is an attempt to transform this rural building type into a contemporary museum architecture.

collection

The foundation currently has more than 500 paintings, bundles of graphics and sculptures by artists who have lived, worked or regularly served as summer guests in Ahrenshoop or the nearby coastal region. The museum's own collections are supplemented by loans from the municipality of Ahrenshoop and numerous private donors.

In the permanent and temporary exhibitions, in addition to works from the founding generation of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony, works of classical modernism and contemporary art are presented. Positions of figurative art from the 1920s to 1940s up to positions of art in the GDR and contemporary works process the artistic perception of a moving German history and ultimately form the bridge to the present. This collection is continuously expanded through acquisitions and donations. The specialty of the Ahrenshooper collection lies in the large number of demanding works of German art history of the late 19th and the entire 20th century, which so far received too little attention and whose rediscovery and reassessment in the course of a differentiated retrospective appears to be necessary.

As a research center, the museum has a special library and a growing archive on the topics of the artists 'colony and the artists' place Ahrenshoop, which are also available to external scientists.
