Die ins Haus kamen | Schenkungen an Fritz und Hildegard Ruoff

In the organizer's words:

Hildegard Ruoff (1919-2020) had a decisive influence not only on the reception of her husband Fritz Ruoff's (1906-1986) work, but also on other artists' engagement with his oeuvre, which was characterized by quiet intensity. Until her death, she directed the program of the Ruoff Foundation, which began exhibiting twenty years ago - one year after its establishment - and had become a place of art, literature and music. Artists thanked them in their own way - mainly with donations to the artist couple. These are the starting point for the exhibition, which tells of friendship and the happiness of being able to talk about art with art and through art.
