Katharina Sieverding, Deutschland wird Deutscher (Germany is becoming more German), 1992
Original b/w photograph, with an adjoined sheet stating 'Für Rudi, Stuttgart, 5 5 1992', signed by the artist in pencil. The photowork derives from the private collection of Rudi Fuchs, the -then- director of Gemeente Museum The Hague. In mint state.
'Deutschland wird Deutscher' was made by Sieverding (1944-) in reaction to the radical right-wing attacks after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Displayed in a huge and controversial poster campaign all over Berlin in 1993, it became one of her most famous works. Added is a postcard featuring Marilyn Monroe on recto, text on verso, sent to Fuchs by Sieverding in 1991.
