Worpswede
Anniversary exhibitions 2024: Bernhard Hoetger. Zwischen den Welten
To mark the 150th anniversary of Bernhard Hoetger’s birth, the summer exhibitions are dedicated to this versatile and controversial artist. Around 1900, he was regarded as one of the most talented German sculptors in Paris. His multifaceted artistic work and his life are also closely interwoven with Worpswede and Bremen.
Barkenhoff: “Hoetger und Vogeler”
Anniversary exhibition from 16.03.24 to 03.11.24
Bernhard Hoetger’s early years as a sculptor in Paris and his first years in Worpswede are the starting point of the exhibition. “Hoetger and Vogeler” shows parallels and differences between the artists. An exhibition about two universal artists with very different developments. When Hoetger came to Worpswede in 1914, Vogeler’s departure from Worpswede began with his participation in the First World War.

Fischerhude
Otto Modersohn Museum
Fischerhude is also celebrating an anniversary. The museum in Fischerhude has existed for 50 years in 2024.
This is the occasion for several special exhibitions on Otto Modersohn’s early work.
Die Jugend und Akademiezeichnungen Otto Modersohns 1876 – 1889
Special exhibition from 09.03.24 – 12.05.24
The early work of a painter is rarely available in comparable quantities. Colouring books from the artist’s youth and academy years reflect his delight in drawing landscapes and impressions. During this early period, Otto Modersohn also showed a great scientific interest in nature. His close relationship with nature characterised his art and life. Rainer Maria Rilke devoted a great deal of attention to these early years in his monograph on the Worpswede painters.
Otto Modersohn – Das westfälische Frühwerk
Special exhibition from 18.05.24 – 28.07.24
Landscape studies and landscape paintings with ” a feeling for vibrant colour and colourful nuance that is rare in Germany,…” (Günter Busch Director Kunsthalle Bremen from 1950-1984). With his youthful works, Modersohn stood at the height of painterly culture in the tradition of 19th century Realism and Impressionism.
Otto Modersohn – Der erste Sommer in Worpswede
Special exhibition from 03.08.24 – 13.10.24
When Otto Modersohn came to Worpswede in July 1889, he was overwhelmed by the impression of the vast, open landscape. After a summer of study with his friends in Worpswede, they decided to stay there and turn their backs on the academies. No other painter has preserved so many paintings from this summer.
Otto Modersohn – Retrospektive – Sehen – Fühlen – MachenVII
Permanent exhibition from 19.10.24 – 12.01.25
The exhibition presents an arc of his life’s work from the early years to the powerful studies of his time with Paula Modersohn-Becker to his late work. A changing presentation of one of the most important landscape painters of his time.
