THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO MID-JANUARY!

The ever-increasing numbers of Corona cases and the recommendation by the Robert-Koch-Institute to avoid large events have contributed to our decision to postpone this event. We will inform you of a new date, when available.  We will continue to plan small events for the holiday season!

You are invited to our Annual Holiday Party on Saturday, December 11, 2021. This year we are holding a ‘cultural & culinary’ event. We will start the evening with an optional guided tour of the exhibit “TOYEN” at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, featuring the well-known Czech surrealist artist of the 20th century. After the tour we will gather together for a small reception followed by a festive three-course menu.

We hope you can join us to celebrate this joyous season together!

Art Tour

TOYEN (1902–1980) is considered one of the most important Czech female artists of the twentieth century. She was a pioneer both in her home city of Prague, as well as in her Parisian exile. Known for consistently pushing the limits, TOYEN challenged preconceived stereotypes in both her art and her life, whether with regard to common gender roles, prevailing styles, themes or techniques. In the process, she created an oeuvre that was as fascinating as it was diverse. TOYEN’s images, as poetic as they are provocative, oscillate between reality and imagination, the seductive and the cryptic. For more information see TOYEN.
