Chris Reinecke

Chris (Christliebe) Reinecke (* 1936 in Potsdam ) is a German artist.

Reinecke studied from 1956 at the École nationale des Beaux-Arts Paris . In 1961 she moved to the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where she studied painting with Gerhard Hoehme until 1965 .

Since 1959 she appeared with ephemeral drawings. In the 1960s she also worked with yarn threads and crochet technology. Together with Jörg Immendorff , whom she met in 1964 and later married, she designed the neodadaist art campaign LIDL from 1968 to 1969 . From 1970 to 1984 Reinecke withdrew from the active art scene in order to devote himself to social projects. In 1984 she resumed her artistic activity and created “delicate, almost surreal” drawings. In 2006/2007 Reinecke received the Artists' Art Prize . In 2009 she showed a room-filling material and paper collage with the Mappa Mundi project .

Reinecke is one of the most famous artists of the student revolt of the 1960s . She repeatedly caused a sensation with her objects, actions and concepts. Her work is oriented towards the dialogue with the viewer, aims at expanding consciousness and political change.
