Uncensored. Annegret Soltau – A Retrospective

The body is political—as the works of artist Annegret Soltau (b. 1946) impressively demonstrate. Her art has been causing a stir since the 1970s and remains as relevant as ever. Long considered an insider’s tip despite her art historical significance, Soltau’s work is now regarded as one of the most important positions in feminist photography and body art.

Over the course of more than six decades and despite all resistance, Soltau’s independent, radically feminist visual language has established her as an indispensable voice in contemporary art. The Städel Museum is dedicating the first comprehensive retrospective to her, developed in collaboration with the artist. With more than eighty works, the exhibition offers a comprehensive insight into her multifaceted œuvre, which ranges from drawings to extended photography, video and installation.
