World Receiver. 10th Anniversary of the Galerie der Gegenwart

Ten years ago, the Hamburger Kunsthalle opened its third section: the Galerie der Gegenwart. The white cube, designed by the architect Oswald Mathias Ungers, is a striking entity located between the Binnen- and the Außenalster and has since become an integral part of the cityscape. The gallery is home to international art since 1960 - from Informel to the Securers of Traces (Spurensicherer), from Pop Art to the miracle of current German painting. Although numerous works on loan from private collectors were vital for the success of the opening exhibition in 1997, from the very start the focus of activities has been on expanding the collection.After ten years of dedicated collecting activities, the Galerie der Gegenwart can now stand confidently on its own two feet, so to speak. Good friends have helped to build up the collection focal points and to establish new one: private citizens in Hamburg, friends, foundations and sponsors. With their support, the Galerie der Gegenwart has become a collecting institution and an exhibition venue of international repute.For the 2007 presentation of the collection, the gallery will be proudly highlighting it's own stocks and new acquisitions, and some of the works will be on show for the first time: a celebration almost without any embellishments from outside.
