herbert oehm. entropy and order

Herbert Oehm creates surface events. With the help of a non-representational visual language, he transforms his canvases into scenes of a fascinating experiment of exact form and random composition.
On the occasion of his 90th birthday, kunsthalle weishaupt is dedicating a retrospective solo exhibition to the Ulm-based ZERO artist.

You can get an insight into the exhibition in our exhibition trailer.

Current Exhibition

A New Spelling of Museum. Part 2

until 05.10.2025

From M to Z: The guest exhibition of the Museum Ulm in the neighboring kunsthalle weishaupt is in its second round.

While the museum buildings will be extensively renovated, converted and partially renovated, the Museum Ulm will be a guest on the first floor of the kunsthalle weishaupt.

For “A New Spelling of Museum” the museum team has selected works of art, objects, fragments, tools, stories and incidents from everyday museum life based on the letters of the alphabet to make the museum and the work behind the scenes more surprising, lively and approachable. The Lion Man from the UNESCO World Heritage Site can also be seen again in the second part of the exhibition.

The kunsthalle weishaupt is operated in cooperation with the city of Ulm and is supported by the Museum Ulm.

The ‘Löwenmensch’ (Lion Man)

The neighbouring Museum Ulm is currently closed due to rebuilding measures. During the closure one of the highlights of the Museum’s collection – the Lion Man – is on display at the kunsthalle weishaupt, included in the exhibition “A New Spelling of Museum”.
The Lion-Man is truly one-of-a-kind and one of the oldest figurative carvings ever discovered. The fabulous – half lion, half man – sculpture was made from mammoth ivory approximately 40,000 years ago. It was discovered at Hohlenstein-Stadel cave in the Lone valley, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
