The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things

The artworks, the atmosphere, the joy, the interesting and the special can also be taken home – on paper. In close cooperation with the respective artist, we produce elaborate catalogs and artist books, which are as individual in form and content as the corresponding artworks themselves. You can find more details about the layout, authors and texts below under the individual title.

In keeping with the Municipal Art Collection, which specializes in multiplied art, some artists also produce graphics or multiples so that we can offer them to visitors to Kunstpalais. So far, one of a kind 3D-printed sculptures by Florian Meisenberg, a cap with LED lights by Alona Rodeh, and prints by Grace Weaver and Vivian Greven are available here.
People who like art also like to surround themselves with beautiful things, as we know from our own experience. That’s exactly the reason why Kunstpalais has a curator-curated museum store with jazzy, eye-catching, unconventional things that we’d like to own ourselves or would love to give as gifts: Jewelry made from laser-cut Plexiglas or crocheted yarn from Japan, England, and Australia, fine leather cooking aprons from the Netherlands, plant planets and gem galaxies from Denmark, special pieces of tableware and vases from ancient times – and whatever else we are able to find.
Our books, prints, and multiples can also be ordered online; everything else can be found exclusively on our store shelves in Kunstpalais until further notice. For urgent repeat orders or desires awakened via our Instagram account – we will gladly try to send you these things as well. 
Purchases with a value of up to 100 EUR will be sent to you on account within Germany. For purchase values over 100 EUR we send the good immediately after receipt of a proof of payment.

The Black Fragrance of Beauty

This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Eckart Hahn: The Black Fragrance of Beauty at Kunstpalais from September 16 until November 13, 2011.

Eckart Hahn (born in 1971) transforms familiar images such as landscapes, portraits, still lifes, or religious historical paintings into odd scenarios. People, objects, animals, and landscapes are made from plastic bags, paper, or wax. They burst into flames, change their color or aggregate state. Those transformations translate the themes into contemporary contexts. That way the works deal with the pressure of our civilized life, religion, family, social structures and their signs of disintegration. They challenge values as well as habits and bluntly point out disruptions and changes within our global mediatized society.
