About Amelie von Wulffen
Amelie von Wulffen (b. 1966) is a contemporary German painter known for her work exploring guilt, trauma, and erasure: major themes of her experience growing up in post-war Germany. Engaging with the difficult subject of still living far-right terrorism in Germany, von Wulffen purposefully adopts subjects that are in ‘bad taste’. Her work is willingly backgrounded by a sense of unease, melancholy, and fear.
Von Wulffen has shown at major institutions such as Centre Pompidou, Paris; Kunstmuseum Basel, Basel; KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Studio Voltaire, London; La Biennale di Venezia, Venice; Manifesta, Donostia-San Sebastian; and Aspen Art Museum, Colorado. Her work is held in the private collections of prestigious institutions such as Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Von Wulffen is represented by Galerie Meyer Kainer.
