Fabric. Textile and the Female Nude
The exhibition Fabric: Textile and the Female Nude explores how the tradition of depicting the female nude is connected to the portrayal of textiles. Whether historical paintings or contemporary photographs, the clothing, fabrics, and draperies in these works continue to influence the depiction of the female body today—and accentuate, veil, or even censor nudity. Featuring works by Lucas Cranach, Rembrandt, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Cindy Sherman.
In addition to works in the house, an installation by artist Sophie Utikal will also be shown in the historic park of Villa Schöningen.
Fabric. Textile and the female nude II
The exhibition “Fabric. Textile and the Female Nude II” continues the dialogue between art, body and fabric. Works by Afifa Aleiby, Anna Grath, Anne-Mie van Kerckhoven, and others interact with works from the first part of the exhibition.
The purposeful alternation of individual works creates an interplay of artistic positions that illuminates the representation of the female nude from both a historical and contemporary perspective.
