This past week the second year grads had finals! Check out work from each of the 2nd year grads.

Day one started with meeting Jutta Haeckel at her booth at The Art Show and finished walking through The Met visiting countless paintings.
.

Some final highlights from our grads spending their last day gallery hopping in NYC from their weekend trip!!

This weekend the grads had an open studio event at their studios in Oberbilk.
Over the course of the semester the grads have been working hard and they were excited to show their current work. They will be returning from Germany soon and this was a great way to end the semester!

Katrin Laade has been an integral part of the program in Düsseldorf. Katrin has traveled with the grads to Amsterdam, Paris, and Wuppertal as well as a number of museums. Katrin has an extensive knowledge of art history and speaks multiple languages, and the grads have benefited from their time with Katrin. On top of all this, Katrin is a working artist and was generous enough to host a studio visit with some of the grad students.

Some highlights from the Stedelijk Museum during the grads recent trip to Amsterdam.

This grads were lucky to meet with curator and art historian Wilko Austermann for the second time this semester. Wilko had a lot of great insight and feedback to share with the grads. Thank you Wilko for the wonderful discussions
