Kühlewein Meets Koenig: An Intensive Double at the KOENIGmuseum
Starting from July 18, 2026, two defining positions of post-war modernism from Landshut come together at the KOENIGmuseum: the painter Bernhard Kühlewein and the sculptor Fritz Koenig. The exhibition connects monumental oil paintings with sculptural presence and opens an art experience that puts painting, spatial effect, and memory into a lively dialogue.

Layers of Color that Carry Memories
Bernhard Kühlewein's large-format oil paintings from the last two decades are considered the highlight of his work. The layering of color, precise composition, and narrative condensing create images where experience, memory, and imagination intertwine. Kühlewein, born in 1938, studied at the Munich Academy after an apprenticeship as a painter and was a scholarship holder at the Villa Massimo in Rome. His art asserts a realistic view and unfolds its poetic power precisely in that regard. ([landshut.de](https://landshut.de/veranstaltungen/kuehlewein-koenig-ein-intensives-doppel))
When Painting Responds to Sculpture
The curatorial dialogue with Fritz Koenig is particularly appealing. The KOENIGmuseum, as an underground artist museum, is a unique space for work observation and cultural education, presenting Kühlewein's paintings in the context of Koenig's sculptural thinking. This creates an exhibition that not only displays artworks but also makes form, material, and artistic attitude readable against and with each other.

Landshut Art History in Direct Exchange
The exhibition unites two prominent representatives of post-war modernism from Landshut and makes visible how differently artistic reality can be grasped. Kühlewein's painterly spaces and Koenig's sculptural presence represent two ways of ordering the world: once with color, once with form. The fact that this encounter takes place at the KOENIGmuseum further enhances the exhibition atmosphere, as the house has housed the largest collection of Fritz Koenig's sculptures and drawings since its opening.

Visitor Experience at the Museum
The KOENIGmuseum is located at Prantlgarten in Landshut, open from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm, and admission is free. Group tours and museum educational offers are available by arrangement. Thus, the visit is suitable for art-interested individuals as well as for groups seeking a deepened aesthetic experience. ([landshut.de](https://landshut.de/adresse/koenigmuseum?utm_source=openai))
Those who experience this exhibition live encounter not only significant works but also a rare clear constellation of painting and sculpture. Kühlewein + Koenig. An Intensive Double promises an intense look at the art history of Landshut and the enduring power of figurative, craft-precise art. A visit is definitely worthwhile.
