Works by the following artists are on display:

  • Adelheid Horschik
  • Guido Jendritzko
  • Ernst Oberhoff
  • Wilfrid Reckewitz

With around 50 photographs - the actual works of art are difficult or impossible to transport - the exhibition sheds light on the artistic work of that generation from the 1950s to the 1970s. A time in which the Werkkunstschule am Haspel developed into one of the most important training centres in Germany.

At the opening on 23 October at 6 pm in the foyer of the faculty, the well-known art theorist Bazon Brock will give an introductory speech.

The faculty invites all interested parties to visit the exhibition. Admission is free.

Exhibition period: 23 October to 23 December 2025
Location: Haspel campus, Foyer of the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Haspeler Straße 27, 42285 Wuppertal
