IN.SIGHT – Die Schenkung Schröder

Alexander Schröder = a passionate collector

The catalogue for "IN.SIGHT - The Schröder Donation" comprehensively publishes the 60 works by over 20 artists that Alexander Schröder recently donated to the Hamburger Kunsthalle. This donation is considered one of the most extensive in the history of the Galerie der Gegenwart. Alexander Schröder (*1968) grew up in Hamburg and founded the NEU Gallery in Berlin in 1994. The works in his collection provide an excellent overview of artistic positions from the 1970s to the present day. In doing so, they expose perspectives and specifically question existing norms in relation to social spaces, architecture, institutions, gender, identity, sexuality, migration, nation-statehood and racism. It is particularly striking that Alexander Schröder's focus on contemporary art extends far beyond the artists represented at NEU and that he pursues a passion of social relevance.
