Studio Jaeschke

Artist of the Jaeschke studio, 1999

The Jaeschke studio was an exhibition space for contemporary realistic art in Bochum . It existed from 1970 to 1990 and gained national importance.

Studio Jaeschke

The studio was operated on the private initiative of the couple, doctors Helmut and Gerda Jaeschke, who organized art exhibitions in the hall of their Westphalian half-timbered house in the Querenburg district of Bochum . The farm, whose origins go back to the Carolingian era, was first mentioned in a document in 1403. Works of New Realism were shown, which was characterized by terms such as New Landscape or Thing Magic . Among the exhibited artists were Ben Willikens , Joachim Schmettau , Hermann Waldenburg , Hede Bühl , Thomas Huber , Silke Leverkühne , Heiner Altmeppen , Bernd Schwering , as well as from the group Zebra the artists Peter Nagel , Dieter Asmus and Dietmar Ullrich .

Although the exhibitions were privately organized, neither commercially organized nor supported by subsidies, Studio Jaeschke advanced to become a recognized art center. The proceeds from the sale of the works went exclusively to the exhibited artists. In order to make the represented painters and sculptors known to a wider audience, Helmut Jaeschke published in catalogs, specialist journals for medicine and art and through cooperation with museums and other exhibition institutions. Art critics such as Heinrich Hahne or Heiner Stachelhaus wrote regularly about the exhibitions in the FAZ , Die Welt , or The Artwork .

Helmut and Gerda Jaeschke

Helmut Jaeschke benefited from the fact that, before studying medicine, he initially strived for an artistic training and was able to establish contacts with artists during this time. Jaeschke, born in 1939 in Paradies, near Międzyrzecz , completed his school days in Göttingen. In 1958 he began studying art education at the State University of Fine Arts in Berlin . In the same year there were also Wolfgang Petrick and Peter Sorge , whom Jaeschke got to know. From the end of 1958 to 1964 he studied medicine in Berlin and Göttingen. In 1965 he married Gerda Elling and began training as a dermatologist at the clinics in Essen, Dortmund, Koblenz and Hamburg. From 1971 to 2005 he ran a group practice with his wife in Bochum. Gerda Jaeschke, born in Bochum in 1939, studied medicine in Göttingen from 1958 to 1964, did her doctorate, and then trained as a general practitioner.

Helmut and Gerda Jaeschke have also appeared as collectors of representational art in recent years. Holdings from their collection are repeatedly loaned out to exhibitions, such as B. on departure realism. The new reality in the picture after '68 , which took place from March to August 2012 in the Heilbronn City Museum . The collector couple has been working closely with the Bochum Museum since 1970 . In this way, the exhibition Landscape-Spaces-Environment came into being in 1973 , in which works by Dieter Asmus , Hans-Jürgen Kleinhammes , Jens Lausen and Hermann Waldenburg were shown. In 1990, the Bochum Museum organized the exhibition Trust in Image. 20 years of Studio Jaeschke and 2011 image trust. Studio Jaeschke. Outlook - look back.
