The Bucerius Kunst Forum in Hamburg, Germany, is a relatively young art center, founded in 2002. It has no permanent collection but mounts four loan exhibitions annually on a variety of themes. Between 2007 and 2009 and in collaboration with the American consulate in Hamburg, the Forum is holding three exhibitions devoted to American painting.
