From November 15, 2025, the exhibition Hotspot Leipzig – Highlights from the collection will be on display at the Drents Museum.

Leipzig is a hotspot for visual arts. Countless artists live and work in the city. Their materials, styles, and themes differ, but what unites them is their background: the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (University of Applied Sciences and Art), one of Germany's oldest art academies. Figurative art and craftsmanship are central to the institution. The exhibition Hotspot Leipzig showcases paintings, works on paper, and sculptures by the Neue Leipziger Schule (New Leipzig School). Their work is characterized by a combination of figurative and abstract elements.

View work by Neo Rauch, Hartwig Ebersbach, Ulrich Hachulla, Christine Ebersbach, Rosa Loy, Ulf Puder, Aris Kalaizis, Matthias Ludwig, David Schnell, Christoph Ruckhäberle, Tilo Baumgärtel, Katrin Brause, Martin Kobe, Matthias Weischer, Isabelle Dutoit, Mirjam Völker, Corinne von Lebusa, Malte Masemann, Undine Bandelin, Johannes Rochhausen, Kristina Schuldt, Robert Seidel, Laura Eckert, Titus Schade, Stefan Schwarzer, Johannes Daniel, Dorothee Liebscher, Denis Hahn, Gustav Sonntag, Henriette Grahnert and Sebastian Gögel.
