The exhibition highlights four artists who have done the same; however, Neuenhausen is the only one still living. He even made an effort to come to the opening reception despite health issues that confined him to a wheelchair. Werner and Ursula Hohmann, founders of HOHMANN, visited as well and were able to catch up with him. Neuenhausen is 92.

The exhibition. “Northern Lights” brings together works by four artists Dietrich Helms, Arnold Leissler, Siegfried Neuenhausen and Kai Sudeck. They all come from northern Germany and, born in the 1930s, belong to the same generation. The works of the four “Northern Lights”, which enrich the graphic collection of the Sprengel Museum Hannover as donations and bequests, cover a wide range of stylistic and technical possibilities of expression. The exhibition brings together representational drawings and abstract collages, color lithographs and chalk drawings, works that borrow from Informel and those that touch on the experimental. The exhibition dedicates a separate room to each artist. With a total of 102 works on paper created between 1950 and today, “Nordlichter” presents a quarter of the collections donated by Helms, Leissler, Neuenhausen and Sudeck to the Sprengel Museum Hanover.
