Combining all of Michael Morgner’s works in this unique publication not only creates an impressive panorama of this extraordinary oeuvre, it also provides a glimpse of the life behind the paintings and sculptures. Raised in Chemnitz and educated at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Morgner was not only a freelance artist in the old German Democratic Republic, but also a free-thinking artist. Above all, however, this overview of his work bears witness to an artistic oeuvre in which Morgner works through his extensive repertoire of figures in a fascinating way, creating ever-new metamorphoses and making them shine at the boundary of abstraction. It is past time to examine this oeuvre in order to be able to explore and discover its creative diversity in a new way.

MICHAEL MORGNER (*1942, Chemnitz) was one of the most famous protagonists on the non-conformist art scene in the former East Germany. With his artistic work, as well as his commitment to the Galerie Oben and the Clara Mosch art group, he stood up to prefabricated ideologies.
