Sammlung Kunstmuseum Stuttgart
In the organizer's words:
Every year, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart presents several major special exhibitions and at the same time showcases the most important works in its municipal collection. This collection tells an impressive art story from Swabian Impressionism to classical modernism and contemporary positions.
With its glass cube on Kleiner Schloßplatz and the spacious rooms in the former tunnel system, the museum offers around 5,000 square meters of exhibition space. Since its opening, it has been a place where Stuttgart's art history and international contemporary art meet in an exciting way.
The collection originated from a donation by Count Silvio della Valle di Casanova in 1924. After the war and the loss of the Villa Berg, the Stuttgart City Gallery moved into the art building in 1961. Over the decades, influential personalities such as Eugen Keuerleber and Johann Karl Schmidt have given the collection a strong focus. Works by Adolf Hölzel, Otto Dix, Joseph Kosuth, Wolfgang Laib, Markus Lüpertz, Dieter Roth and many others still shape the profile today. Other important collections have been added as permanent loans, including the Rudolf and Bertha Frank Collection, the Konrad Knöpfel Fritz Winter Foundation and the Heinz and Anette Teufel Collection.
The current presentation of the collection shows new acquisitions, important permanent loans from private collectors and works that have not been on public display for a long time. In total, the collection comprises over 15,000 works. The spectrum ranges from Otto Dix, Willi Baumeister and Fritz Winter to Ben Willikens, Michel Majerus and Josephine Meckseper. A particularly extensive thematic area highlights the development of non-representational painting since the 1950s, including Informel, Concrete Art and abstract positions.
A visit is worthwhile for anyone who wants to experience art in Stuttgart that combines past and present and constantly opens up new perspectives.
