ANNA LAUDEL

Anke Eilergerhard, Berlin based artist, is celebrated by critics for her worldwide unique, often humorous artistic stance. Her œuvre is cross-media, starting with painting, photography and video. She has become known for her sculptures, which are presented in numerous museums and at international art fairs. These balance virtuously between the boundaries of concrete sculpture, abstraction and figurative sculpture. They immediately catch the eye because of their daring compositions and their tactile and often intensely colored surfaces. Her trademark is the „Cream Hood“ out of Polyorganosiloxane. „My observations and experiences are the basis of each of my works. For me, it is about making things visible that I cannot formulate in words, but are nonetheless universal. A layer cake with a whipped-cream swirl is a piece of heaven on earth. For me, the whipped-cream swirl is the perfect sculptural form. It has something cosmic about it. It reflects the yearning for Paradise. We live in an extremely visually fixated society, no sense can be deceived as thoroughly as the sense of vision.” Anke Eilergerhard.

Anna Laudel, founded in 2012, has locations in the cities of Istanbul, Düsseldorf and Bodrum respectively. Since the gallery´s opening, Anna Laudel has developed a strong standing among leading dynamic contemporary art centres regionally and internationally and is representing a roster of artists with diverse social, cultural and educational backgrounds. It is of importance to the gallery to maintain consistency in the diversity of the roster of artists represented, so as to reflect the many varying dynamics and developments of the contemporary art world. Following its first location in Istanbul, Anna Laudel opened its second gallery in Düsseldorf (Germany) in 2019 to further its international outreach. Soon after, in May 2022, a third gallery was inaugurated in Bodrum, in the district of Zai Yasam, allowing for yet another audience and an interesting location to host mostly solo exhibitions.
