Description: Bielefeld: Kerber, 2015. 29cm., pbk., 120pp., 84 color illus. Exhibition held at Museum Sinclair-Haus, Bad Homburg. German text. Summary: In the “Midsummer Night Dream” exhibition, woman plays the lead and takes center stage at the Museum Sinclair-Haus. The works on display are part of Maria Lucia and Ingo Klöcker's collection, the focus of which has centered around the figure of the woman in art from post-war times to the present day, and thus on a classic motif in art history. This thoroughly individual collection of works tells a tale of personal affections, uniting divergent and, at times, surprising positions in art. The heterogenous panorama of this unique collection ranges from Kiki Smith to Erich Kissing, from Alex Katz to Barbara Klemm, from Thomas Schütte to Michael Triegel, from Cornelia Schleime to Katharina Sieverding, and from Katsura Funakoshi to Stefan Balkenhol. Within this richly diverse landscape, the ever controversial art from East Germany (including works by Werner and Angelika Tübke and Wolfgang Mattheuer, amongst others) makes for a striking and unexpected landmark. Following an initial presentation at the Lehmbruck Museum Duisburg in 2013, a comprehensive and representative collection excerpt is now being shown at the Museum Sinclair-Haus. (pp)
