A birthday greeting to a shaping figure of Cottbus art
With the exhibition All the Best, dear Hans. Hans Scheuerecker for his Birthday. Works from the collection of BLMK as well as private collections, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art honors an artist whose visual language has influenced the art scene in Cottbus for decades. For his 75th birthday, BLMK presents works from its own collection and from private loans, including paintings, graphics, posters, and sculptures. The exhibition opens on August 16, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Diesel Power Plant Cottbus.

Between Expressiveness and Reduction
The exhibition spans nearly five decades of artistic development. BLMK describes how Scheuerecker's visual language evolved from expressive tendencies of the early 20th century to a more graphic, schematic, and color-concentrated formulation. The human figure remains particularly significant, reappearing in its existential tensions. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/alles-gute-lieber-hans/))
An oeuvre with continuity and change
Hans Scheuerecker, born in 1951, has been working as a freelance painter, graphic artist, actionist, and stage designer since 1979; between 1982 and 1986, he taught at the Cottbus branch of the Dresden University of Fine Arts. In 1992, he was the first to receive the Arts Prize of the State of Brandenburg, and he was awarded it again in 2011. His works are represented in national and international collections, and BLMK presents a growing collection that makes the continuities of his oeuvre visible.

Why a visit is worthwhile
Entering this exhibition is not just a celebration, but a concentrated artistic exploration with strong spatial impact: bold visual gestures, clear primary colors, and the tension between figure, sign, and surface shape the art experience. For art enthusiasts, this is a rare opportunity to directly trace Scheuerecker's development in the dialogue between collection and private collection. A visit on August 16, 2026, promises a rich, inspiring exhibition experience in the heart of Cottbus modernity. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/programm/alles-gute-lieber-hans/))
