Kunststiftung Paul Kälberer

The Paul Kälberer Art Foundation was established on December 17, 2008, as a legal, non-profit foundation under civil law. The founders are the six children and four grandchildren of the painter and graphic artist Paul Kälberer, as well as the city of Sulz am Neckar and the district of Rottweil. The foundation manages the former studio building with its garden grounds and the extensive estate of the artist: over 700 etchings, more than 400 lithographs, over 3,000 drawings, as well as numerous textual and visual documents (diaries, correspondence, photographs). As a memorial site, it allows visits to the studio house in its authentic condition and presents rotating exhibitions of his paintings and graphics.

The purpose of the Paul Kälberer Art Foundation is to secure, preserve, and safeguard the artistic legacy of the painter and graphic artist Paul Kälberer for present and future generations. Furthermore, the foundation promotes young people in the visual arts and supports emerging visual artists by providing access to exhibitions, archival materials, and educational programs.

The funding and educational programs of the Paul Kälberer Art Foundation are aimed at young people and aspiring visual artists, as well as art enthusiasts who wish to gain insight into the work and professional environment of Paul Kälberer. Furthermore, the foundation addresses schools, educational institutions, and artists who can benefit from guided tours, workshops, and exhibition visits.
