Faszination 19. Jahrhundert/Fascination 19th Century

The artist as collector and theorist Own works in dialogue with the personal collection Authorship, role models, and references as creative inspiration

The catalog not only focuses on the work of the artist Sven Drühl, but also pays tribute to him as a collector and theorist. Drühl has shown his conceptual landscape paintings, neons and bronzes in numerous institutional exhibitions for over 20 years. Now, for the first time, the Hans Erni Museum Lucerne and the Museum Wiesbaden are presenting Drühl's collection of 19th century paintings alongside his works: from Eugen Bracht to Janus La Cour and Carl Spitzweg. Drühl's many years of theoretical work - as guest editor of Kunstforum International and author of numerous art-science articles - will also be presented here. SVEN DRÜHL (*1968, Nassau) studied art and mathematics. He became internationally known through his compilations of famous landscape paintings. With a PhD in art theory, he is also an author and editor of publications on contemporary art.
