IT TAKES SOMETHING TO MAKE SOMETHING - THE RAUSCH COLLECTION

It is with great pleasure that the Portikus presents the extraordinary collection of Helga and Hartmut Rausch to a wider audience. As the caretakers at the Städelschule, the Rausch's have been collecting works by students and teachers at this school for 14 years. Their collection now comprises almost 400 paintings, drawings, photographs, objects, and videos by more than 200 students, graduates, and professors. Not bound by the rules of art-historical, economic, or academic yardsticks, the collection came into being in 1993. Artists Thilo Heinzmann and Hans Petri presented two works to Hartmut Rausch on the occasion of his 50th birthday. The Rausch Collection is founded on lasting friendships and continues to grow. The caretakers apartment resembles an inexhaustible storehouse of unique and highly contrasting works that reflect the artists cordial relationships with the Rausch's. What makes the collection unlike any other is that each individual work derives from a personal story, a memory from everyday life at the Städelschule, and from immediate lived experience.
