Beate Kicherer
Beate Kicherer was born in Baden-Württemberg in 1946. She studied German language and literature in Munich and geography and urban planning at the TU Berlin. From 1986 to 1991, she took painting lessons in Berlin with Reinhard Stangl and Strawalde alias Jürgen Böttcher. Since 1990 she has worked as a freelance artist in Berlin. Her travels took her to Lugano, Vaduz, Florence, Pisa, Padua, Milan, Linz and Paris. Beate Kicherer died under tragic circumstances in her apartment in Berlin-Charlottenburg on September 13, 2004. In 2009, the Bauscher Gallery in Potsdam dedicated a retrospective to her. Beate Kicherer was essentially an autodidact, her figurative work spanning a short creative period of just under 20 years. Her inspiration came from the “Swabian Baroque”, Expressionism, French graphic art of the late 19th century and Japanese color woodcuts. Kicherer’s most important subject was women. The focus was on prostitutes from Berlin’s red-light district, whom she drew with great warmth in their personal characteristics. Her work includes, in particular, street scenes and depictions of cafés and bars, in which she captured a complex network of relationships. Today, Kicherer’s works can be found in private and public collections in Germany, particularly in Berlin, Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg.
Exhibition period: Friday, 23. August until Saturday, 26. October 2024
