Our exhibitions
Marco Stanke / Alf Lechner
teil's teil's
In the paintings of Marco Stanke (*1987), the canvas proves to be not only the carrier of the image, but also a spatial structure made of paint, nettle and stretcher frame. In doing so, Stanke's works oscillate between image and the image as a thing, thereby testing the physical boundaries of painting and playfully suspending the difference between the pictorially visible and image carrier. By folding, cutting, bending, and piercing the canvases, Stanke transgresses traditional boundaries of painting and extends the pictorial world into space. Part image, part object, a new attempt at entanglement becomes visible on each new canvas, accessible to the artist as part of a collective in the context of the work.

The Lechner Museum
The Lechner Museum is dedicated to the work of steel sculptor Alf Lechner. Since its opening in 2000, the museum has established itself as a place for the examination of art since 1960 and presents internationally renowned artists and young forward-looking positions in challenging temporary exhibitions. The museum is located in a converted former factory building in the heart of Ingolstadt.
Lechner SCULPTURE PARK
There is no other place where Alf Lechner's work can be experienced in such a monumental way as during a visit to the Lechner Sculpture Park in Obereichstätt. This extraordinary open-air museum is located on the 23,000 square meter grounds of a former Royal Bavarian Ironworks. Amidst an imposing quarry, the sculpture park with its landscaped terraces and converted halls offers a deep insight into the artist's work.
Only accessible as part of guided tours.
About Alf Lechner
Alf Lechner (1925-2017), born in Munich, is considered one of the most important German steel sculptors. In the good sixty years of his sculptural work, more than 800 sculptural works and over 4500 drawings were created. With almost 80 sculptures in Germany alone, Alf Lechner is one of the most represented sculptors in public space.
His work is repeatedly concerned with the relationship between technology and art, between rationality and emotionality, between reflection and process, between calculation and chance. Alf Lechner founded the Alf Lechner Foundation in 1999, opened the Lechner Museum Ingolstadt in 2000, and lived and worked with his wife Camilla in Obereichtstätt in Bavaria from 2001 until his death in 2017.
The Alf Lechner Foundation
The museum is based on the Alf Lechner Foundation, a non-profit foundation under civil law established in 1999. Its aim is to make the life and work of the artist Alf Lechner accessible to a broad public and to enable future generations to experience it. The foundation is involved in the administration and art historical processing of his œuvre, organizes exhibitions and guided tours and publishes publications. In cooperation with the city of Ingolstadt, it is the sponsor of the Lechner Museum and is responsible for the design and implementation of the exhibition program. The foundation's grounds in Obereichstätt, which are independent of the Ingolstadt Museum, are also home to the Lechner Sculpture Park, the associated exhibition hall and the so-called "Paper House," where visitors can experience the artist's graphic work.
