Seeing, un-seeing, and re-seeing the works of my grandfather awakened in me a renewed sense of wonder.
I discovered a legacy rooted not only in the works themselves but in a powerful idea: the pursuit of perceiving and performing the raw yet poetic forces of life.
More than personal memories or historical artifacts, Schlieker’s body of work is an enduring testament to the quest for meaning in the theater of life.

NFT Collection on OpenSea
"R122/97 / Sylt, Bl. 5", 1997
The Schlieker Haus minted from one of the five prints in the Sylt series – print 4, edition 3/5 – a high resolution NFT, or „Non-Fungible Token“. Ten copies of the NFT, which was minted as an edition of 50, are now available for sale on the NFT platform OpenSea.
The idea of the Hans-Jürgen Schlieker NFT Collection is to celebrate the centenary of the artist. It was minted by the Schlieker House in Bochum, a not-for-profit exhibition space and official representative of the artist’s estate.
Proceeds from the sale are meant to support the space and further research on Schlieker’s legacy and the post-war German abstract movement more broadly.
