Works

Painting and photography

As early as 1979, Margret Storck was shortlisted for the Bremen Prize for Fine Arts, which she received in 1981. While Margret Storck also used black-and-white photographs as source material for painting, color photography became popular for her in the 1990s to an own artistic means of expression - promoted u. a. through the technical developments of the digital camera.

Cooperations

In 1980 Storck was one of the founding members of the Society for Current Art (GAK) in Bremen and joined the artist group NN. As a student she took part in exhibitions of this group with Thomas Hartmann , Hartmut Neumann and Uwe Oswald . She also shows commitment in the southern French wine-growing village of Sablet , where, together with Claude Berard, she developed exhibition concepts for painting and photographic work in local spaces. In the annual events Sixtrace and Vendanges photographiques both her pictures and photographic works as well as those by artists from Germany and France are shown. In 2011 she formed the group “Fictions de Femmes” with Christiane Ponçon, Lydia Rump and Françoise Vadon.
