Hotspot Leipzig – Highlights from the Collection

Leipzig is a hotspot for visual arts. Countless artists live and work in the city. Their materials, styles, and themes differ, but what unites them is their background: the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (University of Applied Sciences and Art), one of Germany's oldest art academies. Figurative art and craftsmanship are central to the institution. 

The exhibition Hotspot Leipzig showcases paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by the Neue Leipziger Schule (New Leipzig School). Their work is characterized by a combination of figurative and abstract elements.
