Taking a Stand: Käthe Kollwitz

With her world-famous cycles of graphic works "A Weavers’ Revolt" and "Peasants’ War", rare proofs and touching drawings and sculptures, the book covers the entire spectrum of Kollwitz’ creative work and shows all the facets of her masterly skills. The political dimension of her art becomes especially tangible through her posters. Interventions by the artist Mona Hatoum (b. 1952) underscore the enduring relevance of Kollwitz’ art. Hatoum produces works that revolve around issues of vulnerability, displacement, and the experience of conflict.
