As part of the lecture series "Art & Profession" we talk with:

René S. Spiegelberger, founder of the Spiegelberger Foundation, Hamburg https://www.spiegelberger-stiftung.de/part/

René S. Spiegelberger knits a web of connections around art: as an art donor and advisor for art buyers, as an art collector and as a mediator of artistic positions via monographs and artist:inside talks to the promotion of art lessons at schools.

How does one come to support art and artists with one's own assets? How does a foundation for the promotion of art work and how does it find its focus? How do you secure a long-term financial basis? Which artists or galleries are supported?

René S. Spiegelberger talks about his foundation and the PArt Foundation Initiative, about his attitude towards the promotion of art and artists, his understanding of art promotion and successful foundation work. Afterwards, we will have the opportunity to talk to him about his work, these issues and the relationship between private commitment to art, state support for art, the art market and his passion for collecting.

The purpose of the Spiegelberger Foundation is to promote art and its communication. It does this in particular by supporting young artists in exhibitions and publications. It also offers teaching support in schools, project work with blocks of works from the foundation's collection, and lectures and seminars. In addition, it advises those interested in art on how to build up a collection.

PArt - The Digital Art Market Platform was launched during the Corona Crisis, as artists were deprived of the opportunity to show and sell their works in classical exhibitions. With the digital art market platform PArt, all proceeds from the sale of works flow completely to the currently 350 participating artists and their galleries. A prominent jury guarantees the artistic quality. Parallel charity auctions feed an aid fund that has already distributed over 125,000 EUR. PArt is a foundation initiative and is financed exclusively through partners and donations.

The event is open to all students and will take place in room 2.41 - participation via Webex is also possible:

This lecture is part of the series Art as a Profession - Professions in Art. (Cornelia Renz, Julia Brodauf) On the coming Wednesday afternoons, we will continue to follow the trail in conversations with other players who sometimes even seem like opponents to us artists: Gallery owners, curators, museum directors, journalists, critics, but also political institutions. They all want to exist in this field, earn money with art, and they help shape and define the art field. Let's get to know them!
