While Dicker-Brandeis’
work has been attracting increasing attention throughout Europe since the 1990s, it has never actually been presented in a
solo exhibition in Switzerland. Now this gap can at last be bridged, thanks to the uniquely large holdings of her works in
the Collection and Archive of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
The exhibition presents the full spectrum of Friedl
Dicker-Brandeis’ art, illuminating her sojourns in Vienna and Berlin, in exile and as a deportee. Like so many of her generation,
Dicker-Brandeis was swept from the history of modern art for
decades.
This is due in part to the destruction of
her architectural work and to her persecution and murder as a left-wing, Jewish artist. This first ever solo exhibition in
Switzerland places the focus on the outstanding quality of her artistic oeuvre.
The exhibition is accompanied by
a richly illustrated catalogue published by Verlag De Gruyter (DE / ENG). CHF 49.95 / EUR 49.95.
Curated by Dr
Linda Schädler, Head of the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zürich, in cooperation with Cosima Rainer and Stefanie Kitzberger, Collection
and Archive of the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and Robert Müller, Artist
The exhibition is under the patronage
of the Austrian Ambassador to Switzerland, Maria Rotheiser-Scotti.
