ständige Sammlung Situation Kunst

In the location's words:

Works of Concrete Art by Gianni Colombo, Dan Flavin, Gotthard Graubner, Norbert Kricke, Marcellvs L., Lee Ufan, François Morellet, Maria Nordman, David Rabinowitch, Arnulf Rainer, Dirk Reinartz, Ad Reinhardt, Erich Reusch, Robert Ryman, Richard Serra and Jan J. Schoonhoven are shown in the pavilions of the permanent collection of Situation Kunst.

In addition, there are collections of African art with bronze, stone and clay sculptures from Nok, Sokoto, Esie, Benin, Ife and Tada and Asian art with Buddha figures from Burma, Thailand, Nepal, Japan, Cambodia and Tibet, paintings (thangkas from Tibet, calligraphy from Taiwan), ceramics (cult vessels, vases, bowls from Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and China) and Chinese jade works since the Neolithic period.

The concept of art, which the art historian Max Imdahl (1925 - 1988) represented with his teachings, was of central importance for the development of Situation Art. The entire complex is designed in such a way that art, architecture and nature relate to each other in a dialog. This is expressed, for example, in Richard Serra's steel sculptures in open wall ruins or in Lee Ufan's boulders next to the main exhibition building.
