EXHIBITION ABOUT MARTA KUHN-WEBER "MARTA ALIVE!" POP & POETRY


MUSEUM FÜR NEUE KUNST, FREIBURG GERMANY


Marta Kuhn-Weber ( 13. September 1903 in St. Johann † 10. December 1990 in Paris), was a German painter, sculptor and doll maker.


Several Antonio Gálvez’s portraits of Marta Kuhn-Weber are presented in this museum exhibition alongside her dolls, creating a rare dialogue between the artist and the mysterious world she brought into existence. Their relationship was born from mutual artistic recognition: Gálvez did not approach Kuhn-Weber’s work as a simple subject to be documented, but as an inner universe to be revealed !


Through his eye, her dolls seemed to emerge from silence with an unsettling, almost human presence. The Monsters of Paris Collection therefore does more than represent Marta Kuhn-Weber; it restores her to the very atmosphere of strangeness, intimacy, and creative solitude from which her work was born.
