Artistic connections in the Lindenau Museum
The following Sunday, June 29, 2025, the last public tour of the exhibition “Currents – Gerhard Altenbourg and Thomas Ranft” will take place in the Lindenau Museum at 2 p.m. Art historian Dr. Silvia Schmitt-Maaß will present central works by the two artists and shed light on their artistic friendship. A particular focus is on the stylistic similarities and the important collaborative works, such as the “Schnepfenthaler Suite”, which exemplifies the creative connection between Altenbourg and Ranft. These details and the close friendship that developed in the 1970s at the University of Graphics and Book Arts in Leipzig make the tour particularly exciting. Participation is included in the museum admission price.
