Welcome

The picture shows the sculpture Cube Flower by the artist Ewerdt Hilgemann installed on Park Avenue; NYC in 2014

The Hilgemann Art Fund initiated by Ewerdt & Antoinette Hilgemann in cooperation with the Kröller Müller Museum in Otterlo, NL was launched in may 2022.
The first grant in 2021 was a contribution to the museum's acquisition of 6 video works by Jeroen Jongeleen (*1967), an artist from Rotterdam, that during Covid-lockdown started running in circles.
Quote from the museum text: “When the city parks are closed or access-restricted during the Coronavirus lockdowns, Jongeleen decides to reduce his running track to a circle with a diameter of twelve metres (approx. 40 ft.). In deserted areas where he is allowed to run - the roof of his studio building in Rotterdam, the Maasvlakte, the Oosterscheldekering in Zeeland or a grassy field near the Kröller-Müller Mueseum - he runs his circles, leaving a tempoary trail of his exertions. A drone films the solitary, intimate performances of the artist caught in a hamster wheel of his own creation.”

We are happy to share the wonderful news that the sculpture Habakuk (Homage to Max Ernst) by the artist Ewerdt Hilgemann has been successfully installed on 2151 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, California begin of 2023. This great piece of art made of stainless steel measures 20x6.5x6.5 feet.
