DEPOT - Art from the Jakob Bengel Foundation’s collection

Art is not a luxury. It gives things meaning beyond their mere purpose. In applied art in particular, it creates depth: it poses questions, opens new perspectives and reveals what would otherwise remain invisible. Without this artistic perspective, design would remain merely functional – with it, it becomes part of culture. The Jakob Bengel Foundation collects works to bring this very understanding to life. DEPOT features works by Bernd Munsteiner, Milena Naef, Kyoko Taniyama and Anna and Wolfgang Kubach-Willmsen, complemented by works from the City of Idar-Oberstein’s Artist-in-Residence collection and contributions from the Foundation’s collaborators.
