Additional information
In 1992, Katharina Sieverding designed this monumental print for exhibition in public space. The work combines a phrase taken from a newspaper article, “Deutschland wird Deutscher” (Germany becomes more German), and an image of the artist’s face surrounded by knives. It immediately became the subject of heated debate because of its artistic interrogation of anti-immigrant violence and the rise of extreme nationalism after the Berlin Wall fell. Now an icon of German art, the work is as relevant today as it was more than 30 years ago.
