Annegret Soltau, Selbst #16 © Annegret Soltau / Galerie Anita Beckers

With her distinctive, radical visual language, Annegret Soltau is one of the most important representatives of the feminist avant-garde and Body Art of the 1970s and 80s. Social norms, body politics, and female identity are central themes in her work. Her artistic exploration of pregnancy, motherhood, and family in the 1970s and 80s, in which she lays bare complex emotional landscapes, inner conflicts, and states of mind, is unique. Her work consistently addresses her own female biography, thereby breaking with social conventions that, in some cases, still prevail today. She questions role models and deconstructs clichés about motherhood and family. To this day, her works break taboos by confronting us powerfully with the aging of the female body and questions of transience.
