An exhibition in honor of the Hamburg art collector Harald Falckenberg (1943–2023)
The life of every person inevitably leaves a mark. This is particularly true in the case of Harald Falckenberg, the Hamburg entrepreneur and lawyer. He left behind an unparalleled art collection of around 2,400 works with an emphasis on German and American contemporary art from the 1980s onwards. Anarchic, polemical and provocative works from the worlds of Fluxus and Neo-Dada. Conceptual and performance art, narrative, cynical, melancholic and humorous art, true to Falckenberg’s motto of “civil disobedience.”
As an excerpt from this collection, forty-five works by twenty-nine international artists are presented on loan from the Deichtorhallen Hamburg/Falckenberg Collection. This is complemented by a new expansive installation by the artist Christian Jankowski that pays homage to Harald Falckenberg as a collector and person. The work Antikstübchen Nachwort reflects Falckenberg’s physical and intellectual legacy.
