Düsseldorf as art center in the postwar period
In this special series, the focus lies not only on art-historical contexts, but also on shared exchange and personal impressions. Sometimes all it takes is a single artwork to spark a conversation or awaken memories.

This time, our topic is Düsseldorf as a hotspot of the art scene from the 1950s to the 1970s. The event explores the gallery scene and its key figures. We will discuss the influence of the ZERO artists as well as the experimental, sometimes quirky performances and exhibition actions of the era, in which art, everyday life, and provocation became closely intertwined. Special attention is given to the legendary underground club Creamcheese, once a central meeting place for an open and innovative art and cultural scene.

After the tour, we warmly invite you to continue the conversations in a relaxed atmosphere over coffee and cake.

The price includes a slice of cake and a coffee, cappuccino, tea or soft drink of your choice.

This format is aimed at people who would like to enrich their everyday lives through new encounters and who are interested in art. No prior knowledge is required.

Please note: The workshop will be held in German.

The Scharf Collection ranges from 19th and 20th century French art to contemporary international works. Highlights include pieces by Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Pierre Bonnard, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Katharina Grosse.
We draw on this diversity in our series of workshops for adults, taking inspiration from the exhibition. Once a month, we focus on a particular artistic technique or motif and get creative ourselves.

In July, the focus is on paper cutting, which artist Henri Matisse also called ‘drawing with scissors’. Inspired by this idea, we experiment with paper, paint and cutting in the workshop to create our own compositions.

In April, the focus is on portraits. Whether commissioned or a token of friendship, portraits have been an expression of personality and identity for centuries.
We explore gaze, expression and proportions and create our own versions.
