Hannah Ryggen ticket

Hannah Ryggen weaves stories of astounding relevance. Their monumental tapestries boldly address the fundamental issues of life in our society: the atrocities of war, abuse of power, our attachment to nature, and our connection to our families and fellow human beings. From a small self-sufficient farm on the west coast of Norway, the Swedish-Norwegian artist created an impressive, politically inspired work. It launched pictorial attacks on Hitler, Franco and Mussolini and sat down clearly audible for the victims of fascism and National Socialism.

On the occasion of Norway's appearance as a guest of honor at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2019, the SCHIRN is presenting a major solo exhibition, which for the first time grants the audience in Germany a comprehensive insight into Ryggen's oeuvre.
