History

Self in the Image.
Elvira Bach's Portraits of Women

95 Years of Janosch

James Rizzi - HOME AWAY FROM HOME

Anne Geddes - Until Now

Peter Gaymann – Laughing in Crazy Times

Udo Lindenberg - Panic in Tübingen

Elvira Bach does not create a mere depiction of a woman, but her own image of women—powerful, sensual, and independent. Between symbolism and self-representation, she uses symbols, colors, and forms to tell stories of identity, self-empowerment, and the interplay of art and life. In her art, an image of femininity unfolds that remains true to itself but never stands still: the artist herself moves between self-representation and the constructed image of womanhood, gradually aligning herself more closely with it.

For his 95th anniversary, we celebrate Janosch and his unmistakable visual world, which has touched hearts for generations. Like few other German artists, illustrators, and authors, Janosch (Horst Eckert) has captured hearts for decades. The exhibition showcases originals full of humor, depth, and childlike wisdom – from Tiger and Bear to his quiet, thoughtful drawings. Janosch’s works tell of friendship, freedom, and the courage to see the world through one’s own eyes. An invitation to remember, wonder, and continue dreaming.

Colorful, playful, unmistakable

James Rizzi (1950 – 2011), born in Brooklyn, is considered one of the most popular representatives of Pop Art. His comic-like, intricate cityscapes, inhabited by laughing houses, cheerful people, and the famous Rizzi Birds, radiate pure joy of life.

Until Now – The first museum exhibition by Anne Geddes

For the first time, internationally acclaimed photographer Anne Geddes presents her life’s work in a museum. Over 150 works from four decades provide a comprehensive insight into her extraordinary visual world at the NKT. Geddes became world-famous for her iconic portraits of babies – imaginative, colorful, delicate, and powerful at the same time. Her motifs celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of the beginning of life – while simultaneously drawing attention to the vulnerability of children.

Humour as comic art and a way of life

For 50 years now, Peter Gaymann has significantly shaped the history of cartoons and humor in this country. His drawings can be found millions of times in leading media, on posters, postcards, in over 100 books, on calendars, stamps, or as high-quality editions.

Udo’s premiere exhibition for 30 years of painting in Panic-color

Since 1995, panic rocker Udo Lindenberg has been painting pictures in Panic-color. His color-intensive “Likörelle” (liqueur-elles), which he conjures onto the canvas with the help of eggnog, Blue Curacao, and other stimulating drinks, are legendary. Equally so are his “Acryrelle” made with diluted acrylic paints.
