EVBK – 68th Annual Exhibition 2026

EVBK – 68th Annual Exhibition 2026

Susanne Herbold participates with her work “No Expectations 2.0” in the 68th Annual Exhibition of the EVBK (Europäische Vereinigung Bildender Künstler aus Eifel und Ardennen). The curated group exhibition shows works by artists from Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg from 4 July to 2 August 2026 at Konvikt – Haus der Kultur in Prüm.

Curated Selection from 356 Submissions

The news arrived by email: “No Expectations 2.0” was selected from 356 submitted works by 193 artists for the 68th Annual Exhibition of the EVBK. 107 works convinced the jury — mine is one of them.

The EVBK is one of the oldest cross-border artists’ associations in Europe, with members from Belgium, Germany, France and Luxembourg. The annual exhibition is not an open art market but a curated show — which makes this selection particularly meaningful to me.

No Expectations 2.0 — Process as Artistic Stance

“No Expectations 2.0” continues the exploration of trust, change and openness that already defined “No Expectations 1.0”. Lines shift, colours respond to one another, forms remain in motion. The work places process above result — it describes a state in which development is not planned but allowed to unfold. In relation to its predecessor, it deepens this dialogue: it invites the viewer to release control and experience change as creative space.

The work is already in private hands and has been made available for this exhibition — a final public chapter before it remains there permanently.

I will be personally present at the vernissage on 4 July at 3:00 pm. If you are in the region — I would love to see you there.

Exhibitions & Context

Participation in the EVBK Annual Exhibition is part of a continuous international exhibition practice — including the XV Florence Biennale in Florence and Red Dot Miami during Miami Art Week. An overview of all exhibitions can be found in the exhibition archive.

In parallel, my work in the studio continues on the RAW. series — small-format works on canvas (50 × 40 cm) that follow the same impulse as “No Expectations 2.0”: process over result.

Discovery Art Fair Cologne 2026

DISCOVERY ART FAIR COLOGNE 2026

Susanne Herbold participated with the artist collective cARTelle for the third time in the Discovery Art Fair Cologne. Several works entered private collections during the fair — including both parts of the “No Expectations” series. Waitlists exist for large-format works.

Third time – with 40 square meters

The Discovery Art Fair Cologne is one of the most visited curated art fairs in the German-speaking world. Around 100 international exhibitors — galleries, project spaces and individual artists — present their programme to an audience of more than 15,000 art enthusiasts and collectors. What sets the Discovery Art Fair apart from conventional fairs: galleries and artists show their works side by side on equal terms. Participation is curated. Every year anew.

Booth E10 at the XPOST Cologne was cARTelle’s third joint participation in the Discovery Art Fair Cologne. On 40 square metres, Tanja Bäumler, Susanne Herbold, Yvonne Voermans-Eiserfey and Alexandra Hülbach brought four independent artistic signatures into a shared space.

The Opening on 23 April — Invitation only — was once again a great success. The booth was so well attended that the works were at times barely visible on the wall. Conversations, encounters, genuine resonance.

Two fairs, one week

Almost simultaneously with the Discovery Art Fair, the Kunstmeile Rodenkirchen opened on 24 April — one of Cologne’s most traditional open-air exhibitions. I attended the vernissage in Rodenkirchen personally, while my cARTelle colleagues represented the booth at the XPOST. At the Kunstmeile I showed my own, independent works — a different context, a different encounter with the audience.

Into Private Collections

Both works from the “No Expectations” series found new homes during the fair. Several works from the RAW. series also changed hands. Demand for large-format works was so strong that waitlists formed for upcoming pieces.

What moved me most was not the number of works sold — but the conversations that came with them. People who stopped, returned, asked.

The RAW. Series — First Complete Presentation

The Discovery Art Fair was the first major public presentation of the RAW. series as a cohesive body of work. Sixteen works, 50 × 40 cm, acrylic, oil pastel and charcoal on canvas. Unframed. Several works were sold at the fair. RAW. is conceived as an ongoing series.

XV Florence Biennale

Susanne Herbold at the XV Florence Biennale 2025

With the work „The Seed of Love“

German contemporary artist Susanne Herbold took part in the XV Florence Biennale 2025 at the Fortezza da Basso in Florence. With her large-format abstract painting “The Seed of Love,” she was part of the international exhibition on the theme “The Sublime Essence of Light and Darkness.”

Exhibition – XV Florence Biennale

Under the guiding theme “The Sublime Essence of Light and Darkness,” around 550 artists from all over the world presented their works — each with a distinct and individual approach to the tension between light and darkness.

I presented my work The Seed of Love, which for me is a deeply personal exploration of transformation. It reflects the quiet process of becoming — the moment when light and darkness are no longer perceived as opposites, but as forces that together give rise to something new.

In the accompanying video interview, I speak about what drives me in my artistic practice and about the intention behind The Seed of Love: trust in the process, the willingness to embrace uncertainty, and the creative energy that emerges when control is released and space for development is allowed.

Equally meaningful was the respectful exchange with fellow artists from around the world. Conversations, spontaneous encounters, and many new connections turned these days into an intense and enriching experience. The energy of that week was shaped by openness, curiosity, and mutual appreciation — and again and again, the light over Florence: warm, clear, and full of movement.

Video Interview – Florence Biennale 2025

Landmark Fra Angelico Exhibition

Alongside the Biennale, I had the special opportunity in Florence to visit the major Fra Angelico exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco. The show brought together works from important international museums and collections — including loans from the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin, and other institutions whose works are rarely seen together.

The exhibition traced a path from the early paintings to the mature frescoes, making immediately tangible the role that light, color, and spirituality already played in the early Renaissance. Encountering these originals deepened my perception of painting and complemented this week in Florence in a very particular way.

In 2022, I presented my work as part of Miami Art Week in the United States. This experience was equally formative for me — with a very different, immediate energy and a strong presence of contemporary art.

Since then, further international projects and exhibitions have followed, including participation in the book project Great Artists of Mallorca in Palma de Mallorca. In retrospect, a development emerges between very different art locations and contexts, continually challenging and positively expanding my own work.

Further insights into my artistic background and working process can be found in my biography.

FOUR – cARTelle group exhibition

Susanne Herbold — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 11:50:00 +0000

FOUR — Narander Art Experience, Cologne

November 27, 2025 to January 31, 2026

The artist collective cARTelle presents with the exhibition FOUR four independent artistic positions in dialogue — Narander Art Experience, Cologne, November 2025 to January 2026. The exhibition was featured in Welt am Sonntag.

The exhibition „FOUR“

FOUR brings four independent artistic positions into a joint dialogue. At the Narander Art Experience in Cologne’s Rheinauhafen, Alexandra Hülbach, Tanja Bäumler, Yvonne Voermans-Eiserfey, and Susanne Herbold come together as the artist collective cARTelle—with different styles, but a shared attitude.

The exhibition stands for exchange, resonance, and further development. What connects the four is not a common style, but the conviction that contemporary art arises from inner movement, reflection, and personal attitude. FOUR is not a juxtaposition, but a collaboration: four perspectives that make each other visible and enrich each other.

Four Artists. Four Positions. One Dialogue.

FOUR brings together four artistic styles that could hardly be more different—and it is precisely this that gives them their collective power. Their expression, technique, and visual language vary, but they are united by a shared interest in color, form, emotion, and energy.

Alexandra Hülbach creates multi-layered color spaces of great depth that oscillate between calm and inner dynamism.

Susanne Herbold combines movement, rhythm, and light to create powerful compositions that shift between reduction and intensity, generating emotional and visual tension.

Tanja Bäumler brings liveliness and friction to the canvas with expressive color, humor, and a social perspective.

Yvonne Voermans-Eiserfey translates emotion and identity into impressive animal portraits—symbols of strength, vulnerability, and dignity.

The overall effect is an exhibition in which each position retains its own voice while also becoming part of a shared dialogue. Diversity appears here not as a contradiction, but as a strength.

Susanne Herbold – Exhibition in Berlin during Female Art Week

Quantum Gallery, Berlin – November 2024

As part of Female Art Week Berlin, artist Susanne Herbold presented large-scale abstract paintings at Quantum Galerie in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The exhibition brought together international positions in contemporary art and placed a particular focus on current perspectives of female contemporary practice.

Zeitgleich mit der Kölner Ausstellung „City Lights“ – Art in Cologne“ fand in Berlin-Charlottenburg die 3. Ausgabe der „Female Art Week“ in der Quantum Galerie statt. Vom 08. bis 16. November wurden am Kurfürstendamm 210 auf 360 m² die Arbeiten von 18 Künstlerinnen gezeigt:

In meinen großformatigen abstrakten Arbeiten untersuche ich Bewegung, Farbraum und emotionale Wahrnehmung als zentrale Elemente meiner künstlerischen Praxis.

Die Ausstellung vereinte 18 internationale Künstlerinnen und bot einen breiten Einblick in aktuelle Positionen zeitgenössischer Kunst.

Context of the exhibition and Female Art Week Berlin

Excerpt from the program (Red Club):

Despite undeniable progress in the recognition of female artists, current statistics highlight a continuing underrepresentation and valuation discrepancy in the art market. Women remain significantly underrepresented in the world’s most important museums and in the high-priced art market. The sales prices of their works are significantly lower than those of their male colleagues, pointing to structural inequalities that urgently need to be overcome.

Femaleartweek arose from the need to draw attention to these injustices and to highlight the value of works by female artists. Through a careful selection of works that reflect both the aesthetic diversity and depth of female perspectives, the exhibition invites viewers to view art from an equal and appreciative perspective.

In addition to the physical exhibition, Femaleartweek also opened up discourse on the role of women in the art world.

The week concludes with the finissage—an event that not only marks the end of the exhibition but also serves as a catalyst for future projects promoting equality and justice in the art sector.” (Michaela Mumm-von-Oldenburg)

Participating in Female Art Week in Berlin is part of my international exhibition activities. My works have been shown in various cities in Europe and the USA and deal with emotional perception, memory, and energy in abstract painting.

BERLIN ART WEEK

September 11 – 15, 2024

Artwork in the cultural capital Berlin

Berlin Art Week – from September 11 to 15, the cultural capital of Berlin celebrated art at its finest: there were first-class exhibitions, openings, parties and lots of special events throughout the city. Not forgetting the established art fair POSITIONS for contemporary and modern art, which opened its doors for the 11th time in the hangars of Berlin Tempelhof.

Successful exhibition „cARTelle“

As we all know, art needs an exchange between the artist and/or gallery owner and the viewer in order to develop its very own effect. That is why I would like to thank not only the Kulturprojekte Berlin for the excellent organisation of the Berlin Art Week, but also to all art lovers and art collectors for their interest.

A big thank you also to our gallery owner Malina Sebastian, who made our exhibition in her gallery in the heart of Berlin possible. Due to the central location of the beautiful Auguststrasse in Berlin-Mitte we have been able to reach many art collectors and interested parties with our art.

The exhibition runs until September 28.

ArtExpo New York 2024 – Pier 36

ArtExpo New York is one of the most significant art fairs for contemporary art worldwide. Since 1978, it has brought together galleries, collectors, and artists — at Pier 36, directly on the East River in Manhattan.

In April 2024, four of my works were presented at ArtExpo through Agora Gallery. Founded in 1984 in Chelsea and ranked among the global top 3,500 on Artfacts, Agora Gallery stands for international reach and a clear commitment to contemporary art.

The works shown engage with themes of inner movement, perception, and emotional resonance — large-format abstraction in an international context.
