Beginning with the winter semester 2019 the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung supports the renowned Dutch art academy Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. The financial backing allows the academy to offer additional workshops by guest lecturers and to acquire necessary equipment. The support is part of a large support program that the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung initiated for glass schools as well as glass departments at art academies in late 2015. Read more about this support program and other supported institutions.

Thanks to the generous support of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, the Pinakothek der Moderne is able to acquire an important work for its photography collection. The spectacular purchase of the famous series The Brown Sisters by the photographer Nicholas Nixon adds an iconic work to the collection of the Pinakothek der Moderne. The series of forty-four photographs has long since been on the wish list of Dr. Inka Graeve Ingelmann, director of the Collection of Photography and New Media. To make that possible, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung is covering the entire cost of the purchase.
