Exhibition
Lyonel Feininger
From the town at the end
of the world to the Baltic Sea
March 15 to July 13, 2025
In spring 2025, the Ahlers Pro Arte Foundation will present the work of the German-American Lyonel Feininger. Since his appointment as "master" at the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar in 1919, Feininger, who was born in New York in 1871 to German emigrants, has been one of the most important and popular artists in Germany.
The exhibition, which includes around 70 works, provides an overview of the painter and graphic artist's entire artistic work.

The exhibition presents the artistic work of the German-American artist Lyonel Feininger in its entirety – from the early, almost unknown caricatures to the grotesque figure compositions of the years before the First World War to the crystalline, atmospherically charged image compositions of the 1920s, and finally to his late work, created in New York and characterized by memories of Germany.
The exhibition is curated by the world-renowned Feininger expert Dr. Ulrich Luckhardt from Hamburg.
