Opening on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 11 a.m. with a Welcome by Dr. Katrin Arrieta, Acting Director, Kunstmuseum Ahrenshoop and a Laudatory Address by Prof. Eugen Blume, Art Historian.
Paco Knöller (*1950), who works in Berlin, has been connected to Ahrenshoop and the landscape around the Saaler Bodden for decades through numerous working visits and personal ties. In the early 1970s, he was a student of Joseph Beuys at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.
Knöller, who is prominent as a draftsman, increasingly explores the transitions between lines and the color space of painting. The exhibition Es atmet blau features predominantly large-format color works on wood, created through a labor-intensive process using lacquer, oil pastels, and knives. The focus is on landscape in the broadest sense: on cosmic events and their resonance in human experience
