InformElle Künstlerinnen der 1950er/60er Jahre
In the organizer's words:
From 31.08.2025 to 11.1.2026, the Emil Schumacher Museum is paying tribute to "Informal Women Artists of the 1950s/60s" with an extensive special exhibition.
The show in the only museum dedicated to an Informel artist in the German-speaking world takes a new look at Informel art and presents female artists who played a key role in shaping this abstract movement. Over 90 top-class works by 14 female painters and 2 female sculptors are on display. The aim is to expand the art-historical canon to include long-overlooked positions by female artists.
Art Informel developed - parallel to Abstract Expressionism in the USA - to become the predominant art movement in Europe after the Second World War. Detached from classical principles of form and design, the open creative process was at the center of the works. Among the exhibits are discoveries such as the early work of Sarah Schumann, who also championed feminist art historiography as curator of the pioneering exhibition "Künstlerinnen International 1877-1977". Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, one of the few documenta artists from the very beginning, is also represented.
With works by Mary Bauermeister, Chow Chung-cheng, Helen Dahm, Natalia Dumitresco, Juana Francés, Sigrid Kopfermann, Maria Lassnig, Roswitha Lüder, Brigitte Meier-Denninghoff, Judit Reigl, Marie-Louise von Rogister, Christa von Schnitzler, Sarah Schumann, Soshana, Hedwig Thun, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva
