Andreas Barth (*1956 in Nordhausen) seeks intellectual concentration in his work. He combines minimalist painting with a conceptual way of working that is based on a passion for collecting colour systems. The variety of colour patterns and colour cards stands for a desire for systematization and at the same time for a search for intellectual-abstract models of thought and emotional worlds. His monochrome works are shown in combination with his collages. Service trays with abstract patterns from the sixties and seventies from the Podlasly Collection enter into a dialog with the works of Andreas Barth and expand the imagination of a "non-representational world."
Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited the Mies van der Rohe Haus on Friday, June 21, 2024. He was invited by the Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus to mark the 25th anniversary of the association. He was impressed: "You have created something great here on Obersee. Not only the memory of a great architect. The way in which you have made this memory possible is also great. By citizens for citizens. The Bauhäusler with their demand for transparency, openness and democratic participation would certainly have liked that. I would therefore like to thank you for this commitment."
The Association of Friends and Patrons of the Mies van der Rohe Haus was founded in 1999 and has since supported numerous projects at the house, including exhibitions, research formats, publications and cultural education programs.
