Ursula Teschner Collection
September 13 – November 8, 2026
In 2025, the Hofheim City Museum received an extensive private collection as a donation. The donor, Ursula Teschner, hosted the so-called “Sonnabend Gallery” in her private home for over ten years, from 2004 to 2015, with a focus on works of abstract art. Teschner’s interest in abstraction stemmed from her master’s thesis on the artist Gloria Brand (*1943), who studied at the HfG Offenbach and became known in particular for her collages. The exhibition honors this outstanding donation and highlights Ursula Teschner’s work as a gallerist and collector.
On view are works by, among others, Max Ackermann, Gloria Brand, Herbert Dellwing, Sabine Funke, Dorthe Goeden, Ev Grüger, K.O. Götz, Florian Köhler, Vesna Kovacic, Heinz Kreutz, Dieter Lincke, Lienhard von Monkiewitsch, Hide Nasu, Wolfgang Petrovsky, Ann Reder, Helmut Rieger, Lionel Röhrscheid, Corinna Rosteck, Gerhard Sauter, Günter Schulz-Ihlefeldt, Angela Tonner, and Max Uhlig.
Squeegee, Paste, Dynamism – Painting Like Karl Otto Götz
How do you capture movement and spontaneity on paper? Karl Otto Götz, a leading figure of the Informel movement, developed his own unique technique for this: Using a mixture of paste and paint, he swept a squeegee—a spatula-like tool—across the canvas at breakneck speed, creating dynamic, abstract forms. After a brief inspirational tour of the Ursula Teschner Collection , we ’ll pick up our own squeegees. In a relaxed atmosphere, we’ll create our own abstract compositions with quick, powerful strokes.
Thursdays, October 1 and October 29, 2026, 6:00 p.m. each day; Duration: approx. 2–3 hours; Price: €16, materials included
Fold it! Bend it! Glue it! – Abstract Art Made of Paper
Who says art has to be flat? Inspired by the abstract forms and three-dimensional works in the Ursula Teschner Collection , we ’re bringing paper to life! We’ll paint, fold, and bend colorful strips of paper, which we’ll then glue onto the canvas to create a spectacular, three-dimensional relief.
Wednesdays, September 16 and October 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. each day, and Saturdays, September 26 and November 7, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. each day; Duration: approx. 2 hours; Price: €5, materials included; for children ages 5 to 12 accompanied by an adult

Seeing, Hearing, and Creating Abstract Art
In this interactive experiential tour of the Ursula Teschner Collection , the exhibition space becomes a place of discovery and creative exploration. Instead of just listening, students engage experimentally and creatively with form, color, and movement. The workshop serves as an ideal supplement to art classes. It fosters perception, spatial awareness, and creativity; at the same time, working together to create a piece of art—such as a collage—strengthens team spirit.
Duration: approx. 1 hour; Price: €2; for elementary and secondary schools (adaptable to various grade levels)
