# Malereiforschung

**Malereiforschung** (Painting Research) is a conceptual and methodological approach to painting where the act of painting is treated as a field of active research and investigation. 

This approach is central to the work of **Prof. Christian Frosch**, who has organized numerous exhibitions under this title (e.g., *Malereiforschung 2015*, *AQ 2014 – Malereiforschung*). Rather than viewing painting solely as a means of representation or expression, *Malereiforschung* treats the medium's materials, processes, and historical contexts as subjects of systematic inquiry.
