A space for young art: the artothek in Cologne

Viewing art in the context of an exhibition can be too fleeting, the time too short for a lasting impression or message to sink in. The artothek, a space for young art, gives you the opportunity to place art in your own environment – for 10 weeks at a time. The collection comprises a total of more than 1,500 works by international artists. It includes works by Richter, Warhol and Kippenberger, as well as works by interesting young talents. Every year, a jury of expert’s curates a complementary exhibition programme with art by a wide range of young creatives – this includes paintings, sculpture, photography and performances.

The works that can be borrowed are recorded in the "Cultural Heritage Cologne" database.
