Hélio Oiticica

Art & Photography, Inspiration | May 2nd, 2010

Hélio Oiticica (1937–80) was one of the most innovative Brazilian artists of his generation and has come to be acknowledged as a significant figure in the development of contemporary art. Among his achievements was the original and uncompromising use of colour that was central to his practice, and this is the first large-scale exhibition focusing on this key element in his work. Featuring more than 150 works, the exhibition includes several key series from 1955 onwards, some of which have not been seen publicly for more than thirty years.

Kirsten Hermann is living proof of the successful and unique combination of hobby, passion, family and work in the city. Kirsten’s apartment When you enter, you find yourself immediately in a pleasant world of styling, fashion and photography. A large comfortable Berlin apartment filled with life, art and family. On the walls hang works from past exhibitions Kirsten’s gallery for contemporary photography. The apartment is thus partly to the lived gallery and often used for private tours. The stylish interior details of Bless or Andreas Murkudis tell the story of Kirsten’s network in Berlin and Hamburg. Kirsten represents straightforward and clear, and the styling reflects the apartment and the gallery. All this makes each other in the Schröder in Berlin Mitte, where some feel is not going, are located in a specially isolated part of the middle. [Google Translate]

The combination of modern furniture, white walls, wood floors and décor make this apartment a home. It looks like such a comfortable place to be. The little details like the old Helmut Lang shopping bag taped up on her closet door, mirrors stacked against the wall, and mismatched frames solidify that homey look.
