Even today, the (false) statement that there were hardly any female artists, especially female sculptors, until the second half of the 20th century is repeated as a matter of course. Käthe Kollwitz, Renée Sintenis and Milly Steger, among others, are shown as sculptors together with their painting colleagues such as Paula Modersohn-Becker, Sophie Taeuber-Arp and Gabriele Münter as "solitary phenomena" in exhibitions. Often in close association with their artist husbands and friends.
The cabinet exhibition "No friend of..." in the Gerhard-Marcks-Haus is dedicated to a group of female sculptors detached from their social and family networks. The starting point is the sculptor Hanna Koschinsky (1884-1939), whose sculptures were at the cutting edge of contemporary developments, who successfully exhibited and worked in European sculpture hotspots - and yet is still considered unknown today. "No friend of..." highlights female sculptors from the first third of the 20th century whose works attracted contemporary attention and were undeservedly forgotten.
