Edith Seibert

Edith Seibert (born May 17, 1915 in Stuttgart ; † February 3, 2003 in Karlsruhe ) was a German painter . She lived and worked in Karlsruhe since the early 1950s. She became known through numerous solo and group exhibitions. In 1989 she received the GEDOK Federal Prize .

Edith Seibert was married to the German lawyer and judge at the Federal Court of Justice Claus Seibert . She was the mother of Doris Reyland and Ulrich Seibert .

Edith Seibert received her classical training at the Berlin-Charlottenburg art school from 1934. As a master class student, she first went to a representational painter (Meyer-Weingarten), then to Helmut Rehme, a painter who opened up the non-representational to her. During these years she followed the path from figuration to abstraction, which all other informal painters of her generation had covered with equal difficulty.

She is thus exemplary for her generation as a painter of the Informel .

In Karlsruhe she was represented in particular by the Hilbur Gallery. Her pictures have also been shown abroad, in Rome, Florence, Nancy, Holland and Luxembourg and can be found in private collections from Rome to Long Island, NY, from Munich, Düsseldorf to Berlin, as well as in many public collections.
