Tomi Ungerer (Bilingual edition)

Its All About Freedom presents a comprehensive cross-section through nine decades of Tomi Ungerers artistic work for the first timefrom drawings from the nineteen-thirties to objects from the two thousandtens. The exhibits selected shed new light on Ungerers oeuvre by making it possible to comprehend the artistic dimension of the political and stylistic lines and breaks in his oeuvre as a freewheeling artist. His passion for experimenting across genres and the interplay between drawing, collage, and assemblage through which he searched for identity and humanity is thus shown in his work again and again. Developed by the Deichtorhallen Hamburg / Sammlung Falckenberg in cooperation with the Tomi Ungerer Estate and the Muse Tomi Ungerer in Strasbourg, the volume brings together contributions on Tomi Ungerers lifes work by Thomas David, Belinda Grace Gardner, Aria Ungerer, and Thrse Willer, with a foreword by Dirk Luckow and Harald Falckenberg.
