Hahn collection

The unique collection of Cologne restorer Wolfgang Hahn presents a fascinating variety of art from the 1960s - from Joseph Beuys to Christo, from Daniel Spoerri to Niki de Saint-Phalle. The collection includes the Hahn Library, which was donated to the museum in 2005 by Hildegard Hahn, and focuses on Nouveau Réalisme and Fluxus as well as performative and institution-critical approaches. Works by François Dufrêne, Raymond Hains, Yves Klein and Jean Tinguely further enrich the collection. The artworks explore the fusion of art and everyday life through experimental and interactive elements and take a critical look at consumer culture: highlights such as George Brecht's Universal Machine and Nam June Paik's legendary piano integral offer a journey back in time to the vibrant Fluxus movement. Ephemera by Marcel Broodthaers or works by the artist couple Gilbert & George offer further exciting insights.
