PERMANENT LOANS

The Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation works with prominent museums in order to make the ahlers collection accessible to the public in the context of significant museum collections: objects relating to the art of German expressionism are on show at the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See, an institution with which the Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation has been working for many years. In addition, the Sprengel Museum Hanover is also a trusted cooperation partner. The foundation has permanently loaned its comprehensive selection of post-1945 art to the Sprengel Museum for the purposes of research and exhibitions.

These two significant partnerships are complemented by others, for example with the Otto Modersohn Museum in Fischerhude, which permanently houses works by Paula Modersohn Becker from the ahlers collection, and with the Max-Beckmann-Gesellschaft in Munich, which received a permanent loan of a rare collection of Max Beckmann’s poetry.

In addition, the foundation has always supported exhibition projects at home and abroad by loaning works of art.
