Atelier­haus. The Unknown Depot
April to September, daily 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
October to March, daily 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“When I was asked by Frank Boehm to curate the former living quarters of the Graubner Atelier­haus with works from the coll­ec­tion of Karl-Heinrich Müller, I was also offered to select works from the archive that were not shown in the permanent coll­ec­tion in the Labyrinth. There, while rummaging through archive lists, drawing cabinets, and art depots, I found a coll­ec­tion that was previously unknown to me.
I found the works of former colle­agues from Gotthard Graub­ner’s class at the art academy in Düssel­dorf as well as the works of the artists living and working at the rocket station Hombroich parti­cu­larly inte­res­ting. They are to be the focus of my selection. Likewise I selected wonderful chair objects, which are to a large extent in the classical modern age as well as some paintings of old masters. As far as the Asian, African and Egyptian areas are concerned, I came across impres­sive sculp­tures and objects from everyday life, which, as is the tradition on the island, will be inte­grated into the exhi­bi­tion concept.”
