Step into the world of art and history at the LETTER Stiftung, nestled in the heart of Cologne. Here, in a quiet corner of Wieselweg, you’ll find a foundation dedicated to preserving and showcasing the hidden gems of art history. Established in 1993, the LETTER Stiftung stands as a testament to the enduring power of art and its ability to transcend time and connect people across generations. The foundation’s focus is on lesser-known artists and art historical phenomena, particularly from the 19th and early 20th centuries. They delve into the captivating world of sculpture, small-scale reliefs like medals and plaques, and printmaking, all of which paint a vibrant picture of the era. The LETTER Stiftung’s mission goes beyond mere preservation. They actively collaborate with museums, research institutes, and universities, offering art history students invaluable practical experience alongside their academic studies. The foundation’s own reference library houses a treasure trove of knowledge readily available for those seeking deeper insights into the world of art. One of their most remarkable projects is the “LETTER Schriften” series, a collection of scholarly publications that shed light on their research. This foundation isn’t just a repository of art history; it’s a living, breathing entity dedicated to bringing art to life for everyone.
