ein Wimpernschlag = a blink of an eye

Edición de la obra Cornelia Schleime

In 2016, Cornelia Schleime (*1953) received the Hannah-Höch-Preis of the State of Berlin for her life's work, connected with a retrospective at the Berlinische Galerie. The exhibition and catalogue provide insights into her work from the nineteen-eighties until today. During her studies in Dresden, the artist was part of a young art scene that formed as a countermovement to the official art doctrine of East Germany. After several applications to emigrate, the artist moved from East to West Berlin in 1984. She became known in the nineteen-nineties with large-format paintings, portraits, and figure paintings, which she continuously develops further until today, as well as with drawings and watercolors. Exhibition: Berlinische Galerien, Germany (25.11.16 - 24.04.2017).
