New Acquisitions of Contemporary Art in the Kunstfonds 2011. Purchases of the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony

In 2011, within the scope of its annual purchases, the cultural foundation of the Free State of Saxony acquired contemporary paintings, graphic works as well as objects and installations worth 170.000,00 EUR. As no other state in Germany does Saxony support artists, who live and work here, among them are many graduates from the renowned Hochschule für Bildende Künste Dresden (Dresden Academy of Fine Arts) and the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig (Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig). An independent committee consisting of art experts and artists recommends the acquisitions.
