- Art institution Wiesbaden recognizes its benefactor in an official capacity

The Hessian State Museum in Wiesbaden is set to host a new exhibition starting September 5, 20XX. Titled "Feininger, Münter, Modersohn-Becker ... Or How Art Comes into the Museum", the exhibition will present a collection of 105 paintings and sculptures, with 50 artworks from a private collection of about 100 works that were bequeathed to the museum.

This is the first time these 50 artworks are being presented, marking a significant addition to the existing collection at the Museum Wiesbaden. The high-caliber collection includes main works by Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter, and Lyonel Feininger, renowned artists of the German avant-garde movement.

The donation aligns with the museum's holdings, as collectors and museums often maintain contact, and benefactors sometimes fill gaps in their collections through purchases on the art market. The anonymous benefactor of this collection wished to contribute to the museum's growth and development, thereby helping it become one of the leading museums for Expressionism.

Roman Zieglgänsberger, the curator, explained that the new exhibition will trace the essential steps in the development of German avant-garde art. The exhibition will not only showcase these artworks but also place them in relation to previous significant donation batches at the museum.

The exact location of the exhibition within the museum has not been specified. However, visitors can expect to immerse themselves in the world of Expressionism, as they journey through the essential steps in the development of this influential art movement.

The donation to the Hessian State Museum in Wiesbaden is a noteworthy event due to the high-caliber nature of the artworks it presents. Visitors will have the opportunity to witness the evolution of Expressionism through these masterpieces, making this exhibition a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
