The Georg Kolbe Museum warmly welcomes Alexander Farenholtz as the new co-executive chairman of the Georg Kolbe Foundation. He succeeds André Schmitz, who is retiring from the board after many years of dedicated work for the foundation, but will remain closely associated with the museum. Alexander Farenholtz was unanimously elected by the Board of Trustees of the Georg Kolbe Foundation last week as co-executive chairman, alongside Dr. Kathleen Reinhardt.
We bid farewell to the artist Lin May Saeed, who passed away in Berlin on 30 August after a long illness. Until the end she was preparing for her exhibition at the Georg Kolbe Museum. In the last few months, she opened up new vistas for us through her work and her passionate commitment to animals. We are honoured to be able to show her work and share it with our visitors from September 14.
Our thoughts are with her close friends and family.
