“I wanted to call attention to the usual prejudices and role models ascribed to women in society, with which I was always confronted … .” Birgit Jürgenssen
“Women and irony is still a taboo theme, as is women and humor. The price for this is to a large extent not being taken seriously.” Birgit Jürgenssen
The Austrian Birgit Jürgenssen (1949–2003) was one of the most outstanding feminist avant-garde artists in the world. Starting from the liberating potential of Surrealism and in a dialogue with her generation’s discourse on social critique, beginning in the late sixties she developed a multilayered, stylistically multifaceted kind of art. The female body and its metamorphoses were the focus of her work, which predominately comprised drawing, painting, and photography.
