One service provided by the Kunstverein to its members, the so-called “Jahresgaben” have long been established. These “Jahresgaben” are special editions produced specifically for this occasion, mostly artists in close connection with the exhibition activity of the Bonner Kunstverein. Thus the works represent young, cutting-edge artistic positions and can be acquired exclusively by our members at a price distinctly under that of the general market. These are originals and editions at preferential prices, half of the proceeds of which the artists donate to the Bonner Kunstverein. Thus the current yearly sale is understood as an exclusive offer for our members!
Twenty-one artists, mostly from this past year’s exhibition program, have volunteered their works towards Bonner Kunstverein’s annual end-of-year members’ sale. In this way they contribute crucially to the realization of coming Kunstverein exhibitions. Non-members, who would like to purchase one of this year’s items, are asked to place their order along with a declaration of membership in the Kunstverein.
Anyone who is not a member yet can become one for an annual fee of 55€. You can find information about the Bonner Kunstverein and membership on the internet: http://www.bonner-kunstverein.de/ including all information on the Kunstverein, its exhibitions as well as a complete and illustrated list of artworks from previous years that are still available. Among other you can find works by JOHN BALDESSARI, GEORG HEROLD, RYAN GANDER, UWE HENNEKEN, ANDREAS GURSKY, GREGOR SCHNEIDER, FRANCES SCHOLZ, THOMAS SCHÜTTE or OTTO ZITKO to name only a few.
