Dorothea Tanning (1910-2012)

Dorothea Tanning wird häufig als die schöne Frau des charmanten Surrealisten Max Ernst rezipiert, manchmal auch für ihre grandiosen surrealistischen Malereien.

Mich interessieren die installativen Objekte, die überzogenen Möbelstücke, die mitunter aus der Wand hervorzuwachsen scheinen.

Dorothea Tanning is often received as the beautyful wife of charming surrealist Max Ernst, who married her in exile. But she was an artist in her own right.

Some people remember her for her fabulous paintings. However, my interest lies mor in her sculptural installations which at time seem to creep off the wall.
