A birthday greeting to a defining artist of Lusatia

With the exhibition All the best, dear Hans. Hans Scheuerecker for his birthday. Works from the BLMK collection as well as private collections, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art in Cottbus pays tribute to one of the most prominent artists in the region. On the occasion of his 75th birthday, the museum focuses on a position that is deeply rooted in Cottbus yet radiates far beyond Brandenburg. The presentation gathers important works from its own collection as well as external loans and opens up an artistic experience between biographical closeness, painterly intensity, and art-historical context.

Between gesture, color, and psychological tension

Hans Scheuerecker embodies an expressive visual language, in which painting becomes an immediate visual experience. His works unfold a raw, often physically palpable energy that oscillates between figuration, inner agitation, and drawing density. Especially in the exhibition atmosphere of the Diesel Power Plant, these qualities become particularly evident: color, line, and surface interact with that directness that has characterized Scheuerecker for decades. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/veranstaltungsort/dieselkraftwerk/))

An artist with strong regional roots

Scheuerecker is considered one of the defining art personalities of Cottbus. His career is marked by numerous solo and group exhibitions; he also received the Art Prize of the State of Brandenburg in 1992. The exhibition at BLMK relates this biography to its own collection and to private collections, highlighting how closely personal handwriting, East German art history, and regional memory are intertwined.

BLMK as a place for modern and contemporary art

The Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art, with around 45,000 works, is one of the most significant places for art from the GDR and its artistic traditions. This creates a stimulating dialogue between architecture, collection, and contemporary art at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus, a prominent industrial site in the city center. The spaces are accessible by elevator; opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/museum/?utm_source=openai))

BLMK regularly conducts tours, mediation formats, and studio offers; the current program logic also shows how closely exhibitions, discussions, and deepened art education are connected.
