Anniversary exhibition Future Horizons thrills visitors
Since its opening in early October 2025, the anniversary exhibition Future Horizons. Glass in Contemporary Art (October 10, 2025–May 28, 2026) in the two exhibition spaces of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung —BlackBox and BlackBox FirstFloor—has been thrilling visitors. The special anniversary accompanying program has also been very popular—many events were and are sold out. The exhibition Future Horizons and the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung as an institution are highly regarded in the media:
“When it comes to glass art, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung in Munich plays a leading role … Glass art … has found a very special home in Munich. And Eva-Maria Fahrner-Tutsek, who is still fascinated by it, has given this ‘neglected and underestimated’ art form an ever-growing resonance.”
Evelyn Vogel in the Süddeutsche Zeitung (October 9, 2025)
“A beacon of glass art … The foundation is now exhibiting 50 international artists in its fashionable Black Box in Munich-Nordschwabing, celebrating 25 years of gallery and collecting work … (Chief Curator) Reino Liefkes traveled from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, which has the world’s largest glass collection, to attend the opening and offered his particularly apt assessment: ‘A provocative and beautiful show.”
Uwe Mitsching in the Bayerische Staatszeitung (November 14, 2025)
“… A woman made of glass, her gaze fixed on her hands, which look as if they are filled with water. ‘The calmness of the water’ is immediately transferred to the viewer. Meditative, tender, beautiful. A treat you should allow yourself.“
Katja Kraft in the Münchner Merkur (December 3, 2025)
”For 25 years, the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung has been collecting and promoting contemporary glass art, but the current exhibition “Future Horizons” is less a look back than a preview of the future: Today’s artists have understood how to use this extraordinary material to tell their stories. This wonderfully sensual exhibition leaves you wanting more.”
