Galerie Alte Schule Ahrenshoop - art history on Fischland-Darß-Zingst
The Alte Schule Gallery in Ahrenshoop is a central location for art history on the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With its changing exhibitions, it combines the tradition of the legendary Ahrenshoop artists' colony with classical modernism and contemporary art. Ahrenshoop is therefore one of the most important art locations between Rostock, Stralsund and Greifswald.
Works by renowned artists from the Ahrenshoop artists' colony
The gallery's exhibitions bring together works by artists from different eras. They include Hermann Glöckner, Edmund Kesting and Hans-Otto Gehrcke from the colony's early decades, as well as figures from classical modernism such as Max Uhlig and Wolfgang Leber. Contemporary positions are represented by artists such as Moritz Götze, Wieland Payer, Fritz Bornstück and Christopher Lehmpfuhl. This range makes the gallery an unusually diverse exhibition venue on the Baltic Sea.
