Frankfurter Kunstverein

[1] On 15 December 1926, the Frankfurter Kunstverein opened its large lottery exhibition in Junghofstraße, with works by Joseph Kaspar Correggio, Friedrich Mook, Joachim Ringelnatz and Carl Stoltz as prizes.

A striking element of the architecture of the Frankfurter Kunstverein is the curved staircase in the interior of the new building, which is also the site of the mural "Treppenhaus II Experimenta 4 1971" (Reconstruction 1999) by Blinky Palermo.

The architectural firm "Turkali Architekten" was responsible for large-scale modernisation measures in the entrance area and foyer in 1993.

As part of the project, the Frankfurter Kunstverein added a second entrance to the modern extension, which opens to the east onto the alleyway Hinter dem Lämmchen.

Since 2014, under the leadership of art historian and curator Franziska Nori, the Frankfurter Kunstverein has realised outdoor sculptures by Joko Avianto (2015) and the artist duo Winter/Hörbelt (2018), which made a direct reference to the architecture and were on display over a period of several months.

In 2020, the Frankfurter Kunstverein received the "Ausgezeichnet Ausgestellt" prize from the Dr. Marschner Foundation for the exhibition with Jeremy Shaw.
