Exhibition Archive

The INTERVENTION format, which was successfully launched last year, will be continued in 2024 – this year under the motto “Kollwitz meets colleagues”.

From 23 March to 23 June 2024, the museum will be presenting works from its collection by the sculptor WILHELM LOTH (1920-1993), who turned to Käthe Kollwitz for advice as a young, budding artist in the late 1930s. She encouraged him to devote himself fully to art. Her work and her influence had a lasting effect on the young Loth and references to Kollwitz can be found in his work.

Selected, special Kollwitz sheets from private collections will complement the general overview of the work in the exhibition “Aber Kunst ist es doch” (But it is art after all) and shorten the time without special exhibitions until the final exhibition rooms on the 1st floor of the theatre building are occupied. The second of three “Interventions” will run from 25 August to 29 October 2023, extendet till November 5, 2023.
From November 10, 2023, drawings and studies on “Simplicissimus” will be presented in the third and last INTERVENTION.

“There are three things important to me in my life: that I have had children, that I have had such a faithful life companion, and my work.”
(Käthe Kollwitz to her son, January 1926)
