"Two women artists, political activists, and charismatic figures who have fought to bring social and political justice to the most important causes of the past fifty years."

Body Poetics: “A feminist provocation across time and space that explores the outer limits of what a body can be.”

“She was one of the first women to receive international acclaim and recognition during her lifetime, as well as successfully create a public persona.”

“She criticized institutions and role models and negotiated social and political issues in her work such as stigmatization by AIDS, the right to abortion, weapons laws or climate change.”

"Abstract universe of shapes and colors"

“A pioneer of her time who broke the boundaries of what a woman could think and do in public”

" A playful and colorful contrast to purely functional living"

She is uncategorisable – joyful, violent and full of life.
This exhibition highlights the creativity of an artist with an exuberant imagination

"She uncompromisingly defied the rigid social conventions of her time and the prevailing rules of the art world. Her artistic urge to create was fed by her rage against a society permeated by patriarchal structures, which she challenged with her openhearted, provocative work,"
-Katharina Dohm, curator of the Schirn exhibition

The Nanas, their colorful, large-format women's sculptures, founded their international success and are still considered their trademark today.
