Sarah Schumann: Shock Collages: 1957-1964

Evocative of Hannah H ch's work two generations before, Schumann's "shock collages" move from Dada and Surrealist influences to feminist, emancipatory themes

Sarah Schumann (1933-2019) was one of the most influential artists in postwar West Germany and is regarded as a key figure in the new women's movement in 1970s Berlin. At the heart of her work are the "shock collages" she made between 1954 and 1964 using images from magazines, illustrated books and her own photographs.
