Hans Scheuerecker at BLMK: An exhibition for the 75th birthday of a prominent Cottbus artist

With All the best, dear Hans, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus honors the 75th birthday of Hans Scheuerecker. The exhibition brings together important works from the BLMK collection and complements them with loans from private collections. This creates a concentrated art experience that focuses on an artistic position that has shaped Cottbus for decades.

An artist between painting, graphics, and action

Hans Scheuerecker is one of the distinctive voices of the East German art scene. As a painter, graphic artist, and actionist, he developed a distinctive visual language characterized by expressive density, energetic gesture, and a strong presence of drawing. His works unfold a special exhibition atmosphere in the museum: close, immediate, and charged with tension.

Works from the collection and private collections

The exhibition assembles key works from the BLMK’s inventory and connects them with loans from private collections. This juxtaposition opens up new interpretations of the works and makes visible how versatile Scheuerecker's oeuvre has become over the years. A nuanced insight into painting, graphics, and artistic attitude emerges for art enthusiasts.

BLMK as a place for modern art in Brandenburg

The Diesel Power Plant is one of the most important institutions for modern and contemporary art in Brandenburg. With its collection, changing exhibitions, and a broad mediation program, the museum offers a solid access to art history and contemporary art. The barrier-free accessibility of the exhibition spaces supports an open museum visit.

What makes this exhibition special

Those who know Hans Scheuerecker only by name will experience a concentrated encounter with an artist whose works thrive on the energy of the place and the independence of his visual world. The exhibition combines art-historical context with sensory perception and makes the richness of the collection in Cottbus tangible.

Conclusion: This exhibition invites you to an intense aesthetic experience and showcases Hans Scheuerecker as a formative personality in Cottbus art history. A visit to BLMK is worthwhile for everyone who wants to experience modern art in its original form.
