Space for Young Art
Opened in 1973 in the late Gothic Haus Saaleck, the artothek - Space for Young Art offers the contemporary artworks in its collection for loan. This approach gives art lovers the chance to encounter and engage with art in a very private ambience. A wide range of well over 1500 works are available, including Joseph Beuys, Niki de Saint Phalle, Leiko Ikemura and Wolfgang Tillmans. Visitors may take the works home with them for a few weeks for a small fee. At the same time, the artothek - Space for Young Art provides information on current art events. Local and international artists may also exhibit their works in temporary exhibitions in the impressive 50s-style interior.
