CODART EEN Study Trip
11-15 November 1999
N.B. Contact information is from 1999 and may be out of date.
A study trip to the exhibition Onder den Oranje Boom: Die Oranier und Deutschland. The exhibition presented a vast range of art and documents pertaining to the ties between the House of Orange and Germany. The trip formed an extension of the first CODART congress, CODART EEN, which was devoted to The collections of Frederik Hendrik and Amalia van Solms and their dispersal.
We visited not only the exhibition but also some other major sites and collections having to do with this rich subject. Sans Souci Palace, the Bildergalerie and Schloss Caputh were shown to us by the curator of the collections there, Gerd Bartoschek. For most of us our day in Schwerin, where we were greeted warmly by the director Kornelia von Berswordt- Wallrabe and the curators Lise Jürsz and Hela Baudis, was the first visit to that treasure chest of art from the Netherlands in a German context. The new Gemäldegalerie (and for some of us the Kunstgewerbemuseum) on the Kulturforum in Berlin was a highpoint of the trip. The display of paintings in Jagdschloss Grunewald turned out to be much richer than we expected.
The final day was the busiest, with visits under the guidance of Wolfgang Savelsberg and Katharina Bechler to Schloss Mosigkau, the Anhaltische Gemäldegalerie, the Bauhaus and Schloss Wörlitz.
Below is a brief report on the trip, with the names and addresses of our hosts and guides. Now that they know us, I am sure that they would be pleased to hear in the future from CODART members.
