Guided tour of

Considering the Collection & Cranach’s Holy Productivity An Insert by Klaus Scherübel

with Sabine Folie and Claudia Koch

The exhibition Considering the Collection (curated by Claudia Koch) concentrates on the Baroque period, presenting a cross-section of the core of the collection, the bequest of Anton Paula Graf Lamberg-Sprinzenstein from 1822. Other points of focus are the development of representations of space in early modern painting north and south of the Alps, the work of the Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, portraits and self-portraits of artists in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and the use of architectural fragments in Baroque painting. These topics refer to Scherübel’s insert.

Against the backdrop of his installations that engage with the museographical genre of the period room, and related conceptual works in which aspects of painting, the book, sculpture, architecture and exhibition design enter into relation with one another, Klaus Scherübel’s current project Cranach’s Holy Productivity VOL. 28 An Insert by Klaus Scherübel (curated by Sabine Folie) deals with modes of depicting space and architecture in connection with questions of artists’ self-portrayals and strategies of productivity, using the example of a work by Lucas Cranach the Elder, one of the most important painters of the German Renaissance and Reformation.
