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.
The artist Mona Hatoum and numerous guests attended the opening of the fifteenth exhibition of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung, entitled Primary Gestures. It presents photographs of China by Robert Rauschenberg from the 1980s as well as contemporary installations of glass by Mona Hatoum, Hassan Khan, Jana Sterbak, and Terry Winters. You will find the opening speech by Dr. Petra Giloy-Hirtz here (in German only).
Mona Hatoum, one of the most important contemporary women artists, is our guest at the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung. On the occasion of the foundation’s new exhibition PRIMARY GESTURES, she will talk about her oeuvre, which includes installation, sculpture, performance, video, photography, and works on paper. Her glass installation Turbulence (black) of 2014 has been acquired for the foundation’s collection and is included in the new exhibition. The interview will be conducted by Dr. Petra Giloy-Hirtz (in English).

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.
