The Museum Sinclair-Haus, located in the German spa town of Bad Homburg in Hesse, is an interdisciplinary exhibition and event space dedicated to exploring the relationship between art and nature.
Museum
The Museum Sinclair-Haus is dedicated to exploring the theme of 'nature', using modern and contemporary works of art.[1]
The Museum does not have galleries with permanent displays and instead puts on temporary exhibitions.
The museum is owned and operated by the Stiftung Kunst und Natur, which was founded by Susanne Klatten (née Quandt), the daughter of Herbert Quandt.[2] For its exhibitons, the museum draws from the collection of the Stiftung Kunst und Natur and loans from private and public collections.
In 2020, Kathrin Meyer became Director of the Museum.[3] She was previously a curator at the German Hygiene Museum in Dresden.[4] The curatorial team consists of a curator, an assistant curator, and a registrar.[5]
Exhibitions
The museum's exhibition history dates back to 1982.[6] Recent exhibitions explored the following themes:
- 'Clouds. From Gerhard Richter to the Cloud' (March-August 2023), showcased the different ways in which artists have engaged with clouds and the sky.[7] It included works by Gerhard Richter, Barbara Klemm, Marie-Jo Lafontaine, Arnulf Rainer and Berndnaut Smilde.[8]
- 'Eternal Ice' (September 2022-March 2023) examined snow and glacier landscapes, which are increasingly under threat due to climate change,[9] using works from Olafur Eliasson and Doug & Mike Starn.[10]
- 'Courage to Change' (March-July 2022) used works from Antje Majewski and other artists to explore the question of 'How do people envision a good life in the face of ecological and societal crises?'[11]
- 'Tempo' (September 2021-March 2022) displayed works from Jeppe Hein, Tehching Hsieh, Sanja Iveković, Claude Lelouch in order to explore the ways in which the rhythms of the Earth and humankind intersect and influence each other.[12]
Building
The Museum Sinclair-Haus is based in a building which in 1708 was built as a residence for Elias Neuhoff (1724-1799), who served as government councilor of Hesse-Homburg. In 1978, the building was on the verge of being demolished but rescued by the German industrialist Herbert Quandt who lived in Bad Homburg. Quandt purchased and subsequently restored the building which is situated closely to the Bad Homburg castle, naming it after the German writer and diplomat Isaac von Sinclair (1775-1815).[13]
