Live and act

Sigrid Kopfermann was born in Berlin as the daughter of the architect Walter Kopfermann and his wife Anna, the daughter of the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal .

From 1941 to 1945 she studied at the State University for Art Education in Berlin. Her teachers were Willy Jaeckel , painter of German expressionism, and Bernhard Dörries (1888–1944). In 1945 Kopfermann married the painter Egon Neubauer and moved to Langenholtensen near Northeim . Her first participation in an exhibition was made possible after the Second World War by the Kunstverein Hannover , where she regularly participated in its autumn exhibitions from 1946 onwards. In 1948 she moved to Hanover , where she initially worked as an art teacher. This was followed by the first work of art in construction and the design and execution of church windows.

In 1950 she became a member of the New Munich Group and the Association of Düsseldorf Artists . First trips to Italy and France followed with the beginning of a friendship with the painter of New Objectivity and Magical Realism Heinrich Maria Davringhausen . In 1956 she became a member of the German Association of Artists and participated as a guest in the exhibitions of the artist group Junge Westen . From 1956 to 1958 she stayed in Paris . The year 1957 was marked by her acceptance into the Darmstadt Secession and her first major solo exhibition at the Kunstverein Hannover. She received the art prize "The New Generation" Hanover, the sponsorship prize of the state of Lower Saxony and the art prize of Böttcherstraße in Bremen in 1963. In 1965 she married Otto Fuhrmann (1911–1994), lawyer and art collector. She became a member of the West German Artists 'Union in 1968, and in 1977 she was accepted as a member of the Düsseldorf Artists' Association. From 1975 to 1985 she spent longer periods of time painting in the Alpes-Maritimes region , in the USA and in Peru.

From 1986 she became a member of the board of the International Association of Visual Artists and the West German Artists Association. As a member of the Düsseldorf Artists' Association , Kopfermann had study visits to the Cité Internationale des Arts Paris in 1991 and 1994 . In 1994 she became a member of the New Group in Munich. Further painting stays took place in the south of France in Beaucaire in 1996 and 1997, and in 1998 a work stay in Berlin. In 2003 the Kopfermann-Fuhrmann Foundation was established in Düsseldorf to promote art and culture.
