Almut Heise (b. 1944) is among the original voices of painting in Germany. Her early, colorful interiors with numerous references to the reality of life in post-war Germany convey a quiet, detached form of presence. These interiors, as well as the striking portraits, are an ode to figurative painting, without being narrative or judgmental. The Hamburger Kunsthalle now presents a long-awaited, major solo exhibition with paintings, drawings and prints by the Hamburg-based artist.

An exhibition organized by the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Haus am Waldsee, Berlin.
