artothek berlin – Kunststation Kleinsassen. Two art libraries in dialogue

Since the art station was founded, around 2,000 artists have exhibited here, some took advantage of scholarship and exchange programs and stayed here for longer periods. Efforts have always been made to purchase works of art by these artists.

This resulted in a considerable collection of around 1,300 works by around 450 national and international artists, covering almost all styles and subjects as well as all genres from painting to drawing, printmaking and collage to photography and sculpture. Since 1997, this collection has been run as an art library, which attracts a wide range of users.

The exhibition, which can now be seen in the Milchhof Pavilion, is a small selection from the wide range of offerings in the Kleinsassen Art Station's art library - with paintings, decollage/collage, prints and sculptures by artists from the surrounding area (Susanne Bockelmann, Teresa Dietrich, Lothar Nickel, David Weiss/Michael Lippert), from Berlin (Pola Brändle, Ellen van Ess, Christian Rothmann), Slovenia (Dare Birsa) and Argentina (Mariano Cornejo), from former scholarship holders and from exhibitions up to the most recent times.
