To mark the 90th birthday of the museum’s patron, Barbara Lambrecht-Schadeberg, the Peter Paul Rubens Foundation has now published a new catalogue entitled The Lambrecht-Schadeberg Collection. Presences of Painting in collaboration with the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen. It documents Barbara Lambrecht-Schadeberg’s astounding commitment to building and developing a permanent collection of post-war painting for the public.

Since the 1990s, her extraordinary dedication and foresight have enabled Barbara Lambrecht-Schadeberg to build up an art collection dedicated to the winners of the Rubens Prize. Since 1957, these winning artists have been honoured by the city of Siegen for their life's work. They include Hans Hartung, Giorgio Morandi, Francis Bacon, Antoni Tàpies, Fritz Winter, Emil Schumacher, Cy Twombly, Rupprecht Geiger, Lucian Freud, Maria Lassnig, Sigmar Polke, Bridget Riley, Niele Toroni and Miriam Cahn. Since 2001, the Lambrecht-Schadeberg Collection has been housed on a permanent basis at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen, being displayed there in regularly changing exhibitions.

The catalogue The Lambrecht-Schadeberg Collection. Presences of Painting provides a complete overview of the collection, which has now grown to over 250 works. It documents the collection’s development as well as the art-historical significance of the individual artistic positions and works. Particularly in recent years, there have been important new additions to the collection from all the prize winners, continually creating fresh impetus for the collection and the museum. Now, for the first time, the provenance and exhibition history of each individual work has been researched in full.

Artists: Hans Hartung, Giorgio Morandi, Francis Bacon, Antoni Tàpies, Fritz Winter, Emil Schumacher, Cy Twombly, Rupprecht Geiger, Lucian Freud, Maria Lassnig, Sigmar Polke, Bridget Riley, Niele Toroni and Miriam Cahn.
