Annemirl Bauer

In autumn 2026, DAS MINSK Kunsthaus in Potsdam will open a comprehensive retrospective dedicated to the complex artistic oeuvre of Annemirl Bauer (1939–89) – including paintings, works on paper, collages, and objects. The exhibition showcases a local artist who lived and worked in Berlin and Brandenburg, as well as a critical and independent voice from the GDR who was long excluded from the artistic canon. Her works bear witness to her self-conception as a painter and an uncompromising observer who consistently championed social justice and rebelled against the repressions of the SED regime.

The exhibition is curated by Marie Gerbaulet with Luisa Bachmann as curatorial assistant. It is being created in close collaboration with Amrei Bauer, executor of the estate and founder and director of the Annemirl Bauer House in Niederwerbig, Brandenburg.
