The Kunsthalle Emden Collection
05-03-2022 - 06-06-2022
“I collected what delighted me, what really got under my skin, what gave me pleasure or also made me mad.”
Henri Nannen (1913-1996) wrote this about his passion for collecting. Over decades, the founder and long-time editor-in-chief of Stern magazine built up a top notch collection out of pure gut feeling. Then together with Eske Nannen he donated that collection as the foundation of the Kunsthalle Emden, which was opened in 1986.
Now 70 major works from the collection of the Kunsthalle Emden are guests in Baden-Württemberg Under the heading HERZSTÜCKE, the presentation at the Kunsthalle Tübingen adheres to the common theme of expressive-figurative art throughout the 20th century laid down in the Kunsthalle Emden Collection and ranging from famous masterpieces of German Expressionism, with artists from the Bridge and Blue Rider artists’ groups, to the expressive tendencies of the post-war era and up to the 1990s.
Based on the masterpieces from Emden, the Tübingen-based AI media artist group Lunar Ring has used an AI process to generate new visual phenomena for HERZSTÜCKE, which you can also experience at the Kunsthalle Tübingen.
