The artist and photographer Tata Ronkholz (1940–1997) will be honored in the spring with her first major retrospective. She is one of the first members of the class taught by Bernd Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Due to her early death Ronkholz’s work has long been recognized only partly even though her oeuvre reflects a profound and continuous engagement with multiple themes. Ronkholz is best known for her series of kiosks and small shops in the Rhineland and Ruhr area, which she began in 1977. Additionally, she created a photographic series documenting various industrial gates.
The exhibition will also feature surprising insights into Ronkholz's early works as a freelance product designer and photographs of architectural forms taken in Italy.
