Fabric. Textile and the Female Nude

Current exhibition

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.
