On 19th February 2022, the photographer Angelika Platen celebrates her eightieth birthday. To mark the occasion, the Michael Haas Gallery is showing a selection of her “Platen Artists”. The photographs enter into a dialogue with works of art from the gallery’s holdings, with paintings and sculptures by Eva Aeppli, Georg Baselitz, Almut Heise, Leiko Ikemura and Markus Lüpertz, among others. At Kunst Lager Haas, they create an extraordinary interplay between photographed artist biography and artwork.
