The Hallen für Neue Kunst, situated in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, was a museum dedicated to contemporary art, particularly 'New Art' since 1965. The museum was located on the scenic banks of the river Rhine, providing a picturesque setting for art enthusiasts.
Founding of Hallen für Neue Kunst
The Hallen für Neue Kunst was founded and established in 1982/83 by the artist Urs Raussmüller. His vision was to create a permanent space for significant, predominantly large-scale works by American and European artists, providing a unique platform for these creations.
Closure of Hallen für Neue Kunst
The Hallen für Neue Kunst has been closed since January 2014. The museum was forced to shut down following a lengthy 10-year lawsuit that drained its resources. Unfortunately, there are no plans to reopen the museum in the future.
