Sven Druehl: Artist-Collector-Theorist (Bilingual edition)

In dialogue with the nineteenth century

This catalogue pays tribute to the artist Sven Druehl as a collector and theorist. For more than twenty years, he has been exhibiting his conceptual landscape paintings, neons and bronzes in institutional exhibitions. Now, for the first time, the Hans Erni Museum Lucerne and the Museum Wiesbaden are showing Druehl's collection of nineteenth-century paintings alongside his works: from Eugen Bracht to Janus La Cour and Carl Spitzweg. Another key aspect is Druehl's theoretical work, in which he has made a name for himself, as a guest editor of Kunstforum International and as the author of numerous articles on art history.
