Hamburger Kunsthalle

Profile

New inspiration, 1969-1990

As Director of the Kunsthalle from 1969 to 1990, Werner Hofman n gave the Museum fresh impetus. With the continued expansion of the collection, the Hamburg Kunsthalle was able to achieve an important position within the international museums landscape, above all as a result of exhibition such as the cycle "Art around 1800" (with works by C. D. Friedrich, Run ge, Goya amongst others) which attracted worldwide attention.

Restructuring, since 1991

At the beginning of 1991 Uwe M. Schneede was appointed Director of the Kunsthalle, which has recently entered a period of change. The galleries have been renovated, and paintings by the old and recent masters as well as the modern art collection have been rearranged into an attractive new hanging. An extension building offering 6.000 m of exhibition space has opened in February 1997, and houses the new collection of contemporary art - "New Modernist" art from 1960 onwards.
