Over the past few months, more than 200 children from the city and region of Aachen have collected ideas and experimented, painted, and designed with various materials.
Inspired by the current exhibitions Terrestrial Perspectives and Amy Sillman. Oh, Clock! the children congratulate art collector Peter Ludwig with a blooming garden on the second floor of the museum. This year, Peter Ludwig, who together with his wife Irene Ludwig has built up one of the most important art collections, would have been 100 years old. With fantastic plants and the greatest possible variety imaginable, the children congratulate him together durch die Blume.
The primary school courses within the framework of the Aachener Modell created art under the theme Durch die Blume – Happy Birthday, Peter Ludwig! This year, a six-member jury selected five art pieces from all the entries. They will be awarded the 16th Kinder-Förderpreis KUNST on June 29, 2025.
