Art in the Andreas Quartier
Where art and the art of living belong together
Art is part of human life and therefore part of life itself. Initially, it may be the magical aesthetic attraction of a painting, a graphic work, a photographic work or a sculpture.
But art inevitably changes people and their view of the world if they are surrounded by it every day. Sometimes it is obvious messages, more often unconscious messages, that the viewer believes he perceives in a virtual dialogue with the artist about the work. The stories told by the work are always highly personal. Ultimately, however, this does not matter, because art is created in the eye of the beholder. And in the best case, he reflects on it intellectually and relates it to himself, even if it touches him emotionally first and foremost.
Of course, money is also made from art. Artists, and the experts who work with them, have to make a living somehow. But the price does not determine the value of a work of art. The actual, intrinsic value arises only through the viewer's reception of it. In this respect, effective art cannot be passively consumed. On a social level, art serves, in addition to banalities such as representation or prestige, as a trigger for discourse. It creates awareness and pushes topics into the foreground or shines a light on new perspectives. But none of this would be possible without provocation or aesthetic glorification. All of these thoughts have led FRANKONIA Eurobau to make art an integral part of the Andreas Quartier, just as the architects of the former Palace of Justice did before them.

Orientation, classification, advice
With Dirk Geuer, managing director of the Geuer & Geuer Art Gallery, the Andreas Quartier has been able to secure the services of an expert in contemporary art as its art concierge. In this role, he guides visitors through the Andreas Quartier's art collection, explaining the context of the works and artists, advising on purchases and, if requested, putting people in direct contact with the artists.
