Hans Scheuerecker at the BLMK: A birthday greeting as a living exhibition
With All the best, dear Hans, the Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art honors the Cottbus artist Hans Scheuerecker on the occasion of his 75th birthday. Important works from the BLMK collection as well as selected loans from private collections will be exhibited. The exhibition spans nearly five decades and visibly portrays how consistently Scheuerecker has developed a distinctive artistic language in painting, graphic art, poster art, and sculpture.

A look at a multifaceted oeuvre
Hans Scheuerecker is one of the defining voices of the Cottbus art scene. His works combine expressive energy with concentrated form, material-conscious design, and a visual language that oscillates between breakthrough, contour, and inner tension. The BLMK presents not just a anniversary exhibition, but a work examination that makes the continuities and transformations of a long artistic journey comprehensible.

Painting, graphics, posters, and sculpture in dialogue
The exhibition focuses on the media that have characterized Scheuerecker's work since the 1970s. Particularly appealing is the merging of various groups of works: paintings meet graphic sheets, posters meet three-dimensional works. This creates a dense spatial dramaturgy in the exhibition space, wherein form, color, and rhythm question each other. This curated juxtaposition opens an aesthetic experience that is both art-historically grounded and sensually immediate.

The BLMK as a place of modern art in Cottbus
The diesel power plant in Cottbus provides a suitable framework for this presentation: a house with clear collection competence for modern art, graphics, photography, poster art, and sculpture. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm; the exhibition rooms, event hall, and mukk. are accessible by elevators. Visitors thus enjoy a concentrated art experience in an architecturally significant museum location. ([blmk.de](https://www.blmk.de/veranstaltungsort/dieselkraftwerk/))
Why a visit is worthwhile
This exhibition is more than a birthday greeting. It is an invitation to read Hans Scheuerecker's work anew in the context of East German art history, personal handwriting, and museum collection. Anyone interested in painting, graphics, and the art development of the region will find an exhibition here with depth, presence, and high impact. A visit on August 5, 2026, is worthwhile for all who want to not just see modern art but experience it intensively.
