Opening “Into the Open. Nude and Landscape”

While having summer temperatures, we invited to our spring exhibition’s opening into the open. The actor and author Bastienne Voss opened the evening with texts by Alfred Polgar. She was accompanied by “Hans die Geige” (‘Hans the Violin’).
 
The exhibition “Into the open” puts two of the most preferred themes of the Fine Art into an exciting dialogue, nude- and landscape paintings. With more than 60 pieces of work of 39 artists it is the most extensive exhibition of our gallery to date. The different techniques of painted human beings and nature portrait the parallel existence of different styles during the modern art.

Opening “Encountering Forces. Erwin Hahs between Abstraction and Representativeness”

Our current exhibition is dedicated to an artist who represents the concept of the gallery perfectly. During his artistic creations Erwin Hahs was forced to be resistant in thinking and acting against the two totalitarian systems. With more than 30 paintings from the estate of Erwin Hahs, the salon gallery presents the artist’s extensive and thematically diverse oeuvre. 
Since he taught as professor at the Burg Giebichenstein for a very long time, Hahs often is called the father of the Universitiy of Art and Design Halle. “Without him the castle would not have become what it is now”, Dr. Heinz Schönemann emphasized during his eulogy. He is the former director of the art collection Moritzburg and later the deputy director of the Prussian Palaces and Gardens Foundation Potsdam.

In presence of Sibylle Boden-Gerstner, 250 guests contributed to a very successful exhibition opening. The literary scientist Prof. Frank Hörnigk acknowledged the life and work of the 95 yeas old artist in a very personal eulogy.
 
Oil paintings, aquarelles, fashion illustrations, swatches and costume designs for DEFA- and TV movies draw the arc between the different life phases of this fascinating artist who lives up to today. The exhibition can be visited in “Die Möwe” until 27 February 2016.
