Schaulager Foundation

“The Foundation’s funds are to be used to purchase works by artists whose means of expression are forward-looking and not yet generally understood by their own time – regardless of the artist’s nationality and material circumstances, solely on the basis of the artistic quality of the work in the context of these new means of expression.” (from the Deeds of the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation) Since its inception, the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation – under the careful eye of the founding family, now in its third generation – has consistently pursued its progressive aim of supporting contemporary art and making it available to the general public. In 2003, the Foundation's collection became the heart of Schaulager.
