On May 3, 2026, Werner Knaupp would have turned 90. As a professor of fine art painting at the AdBK Nuremberg, he shaped many generations with his deeply personal and intellectually wide-ranging teaching methods.

 

What has become of his former students? The exhibition project so Weit presents a wide variety of current works by artists who studied under Werner Knaupp, alongside Knaupp’s latest, previously unseen, large-format works. 

 

The title so Weit refers to the openness of Werner Knaupp’s teaching concept, as well as to his affinity for landscape painting and, of course, to the wide-ranging artistic development of his former students. Is there a unifying thread despite all the artistic individuality—a shared fundamental attitude across the generations?
