Wand an Wand. Der Kunstverein zu Gast im Augusteum
In the organizer's words:
Special exhibition in the Augusteum (Elisabethstraße 1, 26135 Oldenburg)
The Oldenburg Augusteum was officially opened in the summer of 1867. The building, designed by the Oldenburg architect and court architect Ernst Klingenberg (1830-1918), is one of the oldest museum buildings in northern Germany.
While the upper floor was reserved for the Grand Ducal Painting Collection, the mezzanine floor provided the Oldenburg Art Association (OKV), which was founded in 1843, with representative rooms for temporary exhibitions. A century later, in the 1960s, the OKV built its own exhibition hall directly next to the Augusteum. Since then, the two buildings have stood wall to wall.
In 2025, the OKV will be a guest at the Augusteum. Works from the extensive collection of the Oldenburger Kunstverein will be on display, including works by Ernst Willers (1803-1880), Paul Müller-Kaempff (1861-1941), Marie Stein-Ranke (1873-1964) and editions by Günther Uecker (born 1930) and Grace Weaver (born 1989). A plaster relief by the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844), which was donated to the collection in the early 1880s, will also be on display for the first time following its restoration.
One focus of the exhibition is on the history of the Augusteum. Architectural designs, sketches of the wall and ceiling paintings in the staircase and an overview of the building's changing use document a key chapter in the region's cultural history.
The exhibition is a cooperation between the Landesmuseum Kunst & Kultur Oldenburg and the Oldenburger Kunstverein.
