Adolf Luther Foundation at the Kunstmuseen Krefeld

The exhibition Adolf Luther. Seeing Is Beautiful marks the beginning of the Adolf Luther Foundation at the Kunstmuseen Krefeld—a close, long-term partnership between the Kunstmuseen Krefeld and the Adolf Luther Foundation whose purpose is to strengthen Krefeld as a national site for Concrete Art. The cooperation will take the form of joint activities such as exhibitions, public programs, research and conservation projects, and more. After the exhibition, a room in the KWM’s Collection in Motion—its dynamic collection presentation—will be permanently devoted to the Adolf Luther Foundation for changing presentations. Both institutions will benefit through increased visibility, new programs, and innovative approaches to dialogue with the public.

Heinz and Marianne Ebers-Stiftung

The general and independent foundation was established in 1997 by Marianne Ebers (1919–1998) in memory of her husband, the Krefeld entrepreneur Heinz Ebers (1906-1991). The foundation set itself the task of promoting the development of the Kunstmuseen Krefeld by expanding its collection.
