150 The Art Collections – living testimony of the University's history Hans Christoph: Untitled (1976), mixed technique with varnish on cardboard, 30 × 42 cm, inv. no. KB4072 (Photo: Tobias Lange) Thanks to a donation from the estate of the Dresden illustrator and graphic artist Helga Knobloch, an extensive body of works by the Dresden artist Hans Christoph has been added to the Collection. The donation comprises more than 350 works from the period 1930 to 1982 and includes mainly oil paintings as well as gouaches, watercolors, and collages. Christoph developed an independent oeuvre that, after a figurative phase, moved between action painting and informalism from the 1950s until his death. The extensive donation expands the Collection’s focus on abstract and constructivist art in the GDR.
