On March 1, 2025, Anette Hüsch, former director of the Kunsthalle in Kiel, took over the management of Ralph Gleis's old National Gallery, who switched to Albertina to Vienna at the beginning of the year. The Board of Trustees of the Prussian Culture Foundation unanimously voted for Anette Hüsch last July, who is considered an experienced, committed, committed and innovative museum director.
Born in Hanover in 1972, Anette Hüsch studied art science and media theory at the State University of Design in Karlsruhe. In 2003 she received his doctorate with Professor Hans Belting. Then she completed a traineeship at the State Museums in Berlin, initially at the Hamburg train station. Together with Angela Schneider, the then deputy director of the National Gallery, she curated the Jörg Immendorf - Male Lago , which was made possible by the friends. This wonderful collaboration was once again for the spectacular project Jeff Koons. Celebration in 2008 as part of the artist's under the direction of Peter-Klaus Schuster as well as for the retrospective Brice Marden 2009 realized with the Museum of Modern Art in New York. As a freelance curator, she worked not only for the state museums in Berlin, but also for renowned museums and institutions in Germany and abroad, including the collection of contemporary art in the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2010 she took over the management of the Kunsthalle in Kiel and put new impulses there, especially in the field of cultural education and provenance research and expanded the national and international network of the museum.
With her calling to the old National Gallery, Anette Hüsch brings her expertise and her feel for innovative concepts. It particularly appeals to the further development of the house from a present perspective. Starting from the collection, she plans to point out the art of the long 19th century, and to take over cross-media and cross-collection questions and to open the house to further visiting circles. At this year's autumn conference of the board and the board of trustees of friends, she already gave insights into her work. We can be excited about the new accents that Anette Hüsch will set in her Berlin term.
