DEEDS.CALENDAR: To work. The work and toil of women – Kupferstichkabinett in the Gemäldegalerie | until 18.05.2025
The cabinet exhibition builds on the show “To work. The work and toil of women” at the Kupferstichkabinett from 2023 and takes up another aspect of art on paper: The contribution that women made and still make today to the functioning of society has often gone unseen and unconsidered in art, their names and personal stories forgotten today. Until the 18th century, women’s work in the fields, caring for children or even manual activities were rarely the sole subject of a print, but were at most only marginally addressed. This special presentation uses French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch works to take a look behind the allegorical scenes in order to shed light on the working world of women.
