Leiko Ikemura: Liegende in dunkelgelb
LEIKO IKEMURA
New addition to the collection
Leiko Ikemura, artist vborn in Japan and now living and working in Germany, combines European and Asian motifs and traditions in simple and poetic imagery. Her motifs straddle the boundary between nature and the human sphere. Her female figures present themselves as being in between: sensitive, mindful, delicate, yet determined in the spaces and at the boundaries of human existence. The work complements the foundation's collection, which is dedicated, among other things, to the dialogue between East and West, Asia and Europe.
