About the Association of Berlin Women Artists 1867
The founding of the association in 1867 was a pioneering achievement by women artists. The association ran its own art school and acquired its own house at Potsdamer Straße 98a in 1893. Female artists such as Käthe Kollwitz and Paula Modersohn-Becker received an academic education at the association’s drawing and painting school, which was denied to female artists at art academies until 1919. The VdBK 1867 helped to ensure that women also received a sound artistic education, social security and opportunities to exhibit and sell their work.
After many years without a domicile, the association now has new exhibition rooms at Eisenacher Straße 118 and is committed to the presence and equality of Berlin women artists across generations with a lively exhibition programme. However, it also maintains its cultural legacy and shows the works of its historical members. Today’s members are committed to ensuring that they are not only remembered in the context of their sometimes tragic fates, but that their artistic quality and their active contribution to the art scene of the time are recognised.
