“While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last.“ (Kamala Harris) The legal right of women to vote was established in the United States only 100 years ago; many other countries introduced women's suffrage even later. For a long time, women weren’t involved in decision making, in creative processes or in politics – and an inequality still exists…. Now Kamala Harris…
Never before have we come so close to the master. Dürer was provocative, curious, a brilliant creator and a visionary genius. He painted himself with equal self-assurance, wether in the pose of Christ or completely naked, was a master of self-marketing, and created the first logo in history with his initials. Dürer – Meisterwerke im Detail looks at all areas of the artist's wide-ranging production…
An outstanding artist and a renowned photographer: The story of Niki de Saint Phalle (1930-2002) is that of an artist on a quest for emancipation in a world dominated by men. Her highly individual stance and her profoundly innovative oeuvre left a firm imprint on the cultural landscape of the 20th century. In the male-dominated world of American photography Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was…

Jules Chéret lead the way for this art form and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec perfected it: At the end of the 19th century the poster was not merely a means of advertisement or political campaigns. Sketched by artists, posters became a favourable artwork to collect, poster-societies were installed and poster-exhibitions presented the diversity of designs. The Affichomanie reached its climax. After the turn…
Time and again, she appears in various states of undress: Venus, the goddess – whether she was painted by Botticelli and Cabanel or Cranach, Titian and Velázquez. And Eve, the seductress - she's also naked. Goya's Maja, Manet's Olympia, Klimt's Judith - they refer to Venus and Eve, the prototypes of the nude. Albrecht Dürer depicted himself naked, Mapplethorpe's self-portrait is more explicit.…

Certainly today's street photographers will also produce iconic images of these strange times: What they will…

2020 marks the 500th anniversary of Raphael's death. Crowned the “Prince of Painters” by Giorgio Vasari, Raphael (1483–1520) stands as one of the most popular artists of the Italian Renaissance.
