The Künstlerhaus Stuttgart e.V. is a special institution with a special history. As the first chairwoman of the association and an art historian, Hannelore Paflik-Huber has edited a publication to mark its fortieth anniversary.
The Künstlerhaus was founded in 1978 by a group of Stuttgart artists and has since developed into a nationally and internationally renowned institution for contemporary art. The history of its curation over the last four decades is told through interviews with the artistic directors.
Two texts recount the Künstlerhaus’ history: one deals with the period from 1974 to its foundation in 1978, and the other with the building’s initial construction as a luggage factory by its two Jewish owners.
Over 70 leading artistic and political figures and artists associated with the Künstlerhaus explain the special significance of this institution, while the stars of the workshops and studios tell the story of these other two important pillars of the establishment.
The list of authors: Marius Babias, Rudolf Bumiller, Gerd Dieterich, Hildegarde Duane, Jesko Fezer, Liam Gillick, Dietrich Heißenbüttel, Fatima Hellberg, Hans Dieter Huber, MATHESON WHITELEY & Simon Jones, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Hannelore Paflik-Huber, Romy Range, Rachel Reupke, Anna Romanenko, Joachim E. Schielke, Ruby Sircar, Wolfgang Stübler, Wendelien van Oldenborgh, Heidemarie von Wedel, Georg Winter, Didem Yazıcı, and Philipp Ziegler.
