Faszination 19. Jahrhundert / Fascination 19th Century - Sven Drühl: Künstler - Sammler - Theoretiker / Artist - Collector - Theorist

This catalogue pays tribute to the artist Sven Drühl 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 Drühl's collection of nineteenth-century paintings alongside his works: from Eugen Bracht to Janus La Cour and Carl Spitzweg. Another key aspect is Drühl'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.

SVEN DRÜHL (*1968, Nassau) studied art and mathematics. He became internationally known through his compilations of famous landscape paintings. With a PhD in art theory, he is also an author and editor of publications on contemporary art.
