Gudrun Petersdorff and Annette Schröter
The artists Gudrun Petersdorff and Annette Schröter studied painting and graphic art at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Both studied in the class of Prof. Bernhard Heisig. They are still active in the studio today and are among the few women of this generation who still exhibit very often regionally, throughout Germany and internationally. Independently of each other, they discovered the theme of "allotments" a few years ago.
When they were young, the phenomenon of allotment gardens was not necessarily one of their interests and was seen as a petty bourgeois relic. In urban areas in particular, the allotment garden is experiencing a new appreciation as an individually designed natural space, social meeting place and retreat. This development is also reflected in the artistic works of both artists. Originally developed in Leipzig, the so-called "allotment garden", whose name goes back to the Leipzig doctor Daniel Gottlob Moritz Schreber, has been widespread throughout Germany for decades. Located on the outskirts of large cities in particular, it is currently experiencing a renaissance and growing in popularity.
