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 cover 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. The unbroken validity of her work is brought home in its juxtaposition with the interventions of the artist Mona Hatoum (* 1952) which hover around subjects like vulnerability, displacement and the experience of conflict.
