Bauhaus.Weimar.Moderne.

Founded in 1995, the association of supporters of the Weimar art collections safeguards and preserves selected art treasures in Weimar and facilitates the acquisition of new cultural assets with membership dues and donations. The development of art and design is centrally important to its mission, specifically the Bauhaus, modernism and the works displayed in the Weimar City Castle. The association adopted the name “Bauhaus.Weimar.Moderne. Die Kunstfreunde e.V.” in 2011.

The members of Bauhaus.Weimar.Moderne have already purchased and helped acquire artworks valued at more than 2.2 million euros. Most of these were donated or permanently loaned to the Klassik Stiftung Weimar. In 2019 the association presented the Klassik Stiftung Weimar with Oskar Schlemmer’s portfolio of lithographs “Play on Heads” from 1923.

The main goal of the association is to support the collections of classical modernism, the graphic collections and especially the collection of Bauhaus works, many of which are now displayed at the new Bauhaus Museum in Weimar. For many years, the members of the association strongly advocated for constructing this significant new museum for the city and state.

The association’s activities include previewing the most important exhibitions of the Klassik Stiftung Weimar, providing tours, holding public lectures, funding academic publications and organising annual art trips, e.g. to Gotha and Potsdam in 2017, to Altenburg and Leipzig in 2018, and to Gotha and Dessau in 2019.

There are currently 120 members in “Bauhaus.Weimar.Moderne. Die Kunstfreunde e.V.” who come from near and far. New members are always welcome!
