All the best, dear Hans at the BLMK: Experience Scheuerecker's art in Cottbus

Hans Scheuerecker at the BLMK: a birthday exhibition full of energy, line, and color

The Brandenburg State Museum for Modern Art dedicates an exhibition to Hans Scheuerecker on the occasion of his 75th birthday featuring important works from its own collection and from private collections. Paintings, graphics, posters, and sculptures will be displayed, showcasing the artistic path of the painter, who shaped the art scene in Cottbus, over nearly five decades. The exhibition runs from May 30 to August 23, 2026, at the Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus; admission is specified as 4 euros regular and 3 euros reduced.

An artist who has shaped the Cottbus art scene

Hans Scheuerecker is one of the prominent East German positions in contemporary art. His visual language oscillates between expressive painting, graphic density, and often immediate, gestural presence. The BLMK explicitly presents him in its collection areas as an important contemporary position; the painting collection also refers to his significance in the tension field between DDR art, East German traditions, and contemporaneity.

Collection, space, and museum atmosphere

The Dieselkraftwerk Cottbus is itself a place with charisma: a repurposed industrial building that today unfolds a special spatial effect as a house for modern art. The BLMK has a total of around 45,000 artworks and, with its focus on art from the DDR and the resulting traditions, is one of the most prominent museums in this region. The exhibition spaces in Cottbus are open from Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; all exhibition spaces, the event hall, and the mukk. are accessible via elevators.

Work observation between gesture and memory

The exhibition promises a dense observation of works: Scheuerecker's pieces connect energy, materiality, and an unmistakable handwriting. In the context of the BLMK, such positions are not shown in isolation but read as part of a larger art history that relates painting, graphic art, and object art. This is exactly where the appeal of this preliminary report lies: it arouses curiosity for an exhibition that makes biographical continuities and aesthetic breaks visible.
