Opening of the exhibition “Refugium – Exile.” Angela Becker-Fuhr

The summer exhibition at the Hesse Museum features watercolors, pastels, and collages by Angela Becker-Fuhr, in which the artist seeks to capture an “atmosphere of living history.” Her works on paper focus on the houses, villas, and gardens of writers, artists, and intellectuals who found temporary exile on the Côte d’Azur in the 1930s. This was particularly the case in Sanary-sur-Mer. The opening reception will take place on Friday, July 24, at 7:00 p.m.—weather permitting—in front of the Hesse Museum in Gaienhofen. Deputy Mayor Mechtild Biechele and Museum Director Dr. Yvonne Istas will welcome guests. The laudatory address will be delivered by literary scholar Prof. Dr. Schuhmacher. The event will feature musical accompaniment by singer Sara Virciglio-Mac-Nelly. A light reception will follow. The exhibition will be open for viewing immediately afterward or starting at 6 p.m. Please RSVP: [hesse-museum@gaienhofen.de](mailto:hesse-museum@gaienhofen.de), Tel. +49 (0) 7735 / 440949
