September 17 – October 29, 2022
We are delighted to present the works of the artist, Romane Holderried Kaesdorf for the first time at our gallery in the exhibition Zeichnerei des dringenden Motivs . The exhibition, created in collaboration with the estate, brings together paintings and drawings from four decades, in which an idiosyncratic yet highly accessible world of recurring figures and objects unfolds.
Born in 1922 in the Upper Swabian town of Biberach and married to the lawyer and painter Julius Kaesdorf, Romane Holderried Kaesdorf maintained lifelong ties to her hometown, where she lived and worked- except for the years in Stuttgart- until her death in 2007.
Always in lively exchange with other contemporary artists and a keen eye on her environment, Romane Holderried Kaesdorf developed an unmistakable visual language that humorously and precisely reveals the human being and its relationship with reality. The figures drawn with free strokes, with their large, ever-busy hands and jagged faces, often wrestle with everyday objects, only to later free themselves from them and turn their attention to their own bodies.
This deep engagement with physicality and the personal agency and the subsequent autonomy make Romane Holderried Kaesdorf one of the most exciting figurative artists of her generation, especially today. Her work can now be seen extensively in Berlin for the first time since her solo exhibition in 1998 at the nGbK and her space at KW Berlin as part of the exhibition Nach Abschluss der Reise curated by Eva-Maria Wilde in 2011. Nach Abschluss der Reise umfassend in Berlin zu sehen.
