About

Founded in 2005, Adolf Hölzel Stiftung is a foundation based in Stuttgart, Germany working on arts & culture, heritage, education.

The Adolf Hölzel Stiftung is a non-profit foundation based in Stuttgart-Degerloch, Germany. It was founded in 2005 by the painter's granddaughter to preserve and promote the artistic estate and life's work of the painter and teacher Adolf Hölzel, a pioneer of abstract art. The foundation runs the Hölzel-Haus, the former residence and studio of Hölzel, which reopened in 2022 as a museum with an exhibition of his works, a library for research, and an integrated art school offering courses for children, young people and adults. The foundation also organises exhibitions, lectures, guided tours, symposia and an annual programme of events, and supports young artists, including by providing an apartment in the house. It is supported by the Förderverein Hölzel-Haus e. V., which is a separate association. The foundation's activities are publicly benefiting and are officially recognised as charitable.
