yesterday, we published part I of katharina fritsch's solo exhibition at the deichtorhallen hamburg, germany. here is part II of our coverage.
yesterday, we published part I of katharina fritsch’s solo exhibition at the deichtorhallen hamburg,
germany. her symbolic sculpture plays on the tension between the familiar, surreal
or uncanny,
transformed through the color and the materials which she
employs in her work. fritsch often recasts
elements and characteristics
from her own, personal world, through an extensive sculptural process,
finishing each of her pieces with a precision and perfection.
collectively, her work expresses a
personal and cultural nostalgia
which she shares with her viewers.
the show runs until february 7th, 2010.

fritsch’s most recent installation – based on postcards, from various cities,
which were sent to
her as a child from her grandfather – she has
created a surreal garden
which is formally precise and which resonates
with both personal and cultural nostalgia.
