FOUR – cARTelle group exhibition

FOUR — Narander Art Experience, Cologne

November 27, 2025 to January 31, 2026

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 artistic positions in 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.

XV Florence Biennale

Susanne Herbold — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 08:18:00 +0000

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.

Great Artists of Mallorca

Susanne Herbold — Mon, 07 Jul 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Great Artists of Mallorca | Susanne Herbold

German artist Susanne Herbold is part of the international book and art project “Great Artists of Mallorca.” The project portrays contemporary artists who live and work in Mallorca, combining photography, publication, and exhibition in a shared artistic context.

The presentation took place on June 12, 2025, in Palma de Mallorca. The article provides insights into the book project, the artist portrait, and the accompanying exhibition.

Great Artists of Mallorca

Great Artists of Mallorca is an international art and book project by photographer Axel Ruske in collaboration with editor Regina Elisabeth “Lizzy” Rautenberg. The publication is dedicated to contemporary artists living and working on Mallorca and combines photographic portraiture, studio visit, and artistic position.

My own photo shoot took place in our garden beneath old olive trees. The central black-and-white portrait that opens my section in the book was created there, along with additional images that also appear in the publication. Each artist is presented across six pages in the trilingual volume. An accompanying making-of video further documents the photographic process and offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes.

The book was first presented on June 12, 2025, at the Gerhardt Braun Gallery in Palma de Mallorca. Selected portraits were shown as large-format prints, extending the photographic concept into the exhibition space.

Being included in this project feels like a special recognition of my work to date. At the same time, the encounters with the participating artists have developed into personal connections that continue to this day. For me, the project highlights how important exchange and mutual awareness are within contemporary art — not only through the work itself, but also between the people behind it.

Coming Home – Art in Motion

Coming Home – Art in Motion

When Abstract Painting Becomes Movement

Art to Wear – The Idea Behind Coming Home

With Coming Home, something new begins for me: for the first time, my art and cycling meet within a shared design. The jersey, created from my painting Coming Home, is far more than sportswear — it carries a message of freedom, openness, light, and the feeling of arriving: in life, on the road, and within oneself.

The color world of Coming Home is inspired by the landscape of Mallorca — sun, sea, movement, and the inner balance that arises when one is fully present in the moment. This atmosphere is reflected in the design and now accompanies those who set out on their own journey — by bike, on foot, or simply moving through the day with energy.

From Painting to Design

What began as a single design has evolved into a versatile collection — for cyclists, recreational athletes, runners, and enthusiasts alike. The range includes:

Jerseys in various versions: classic, ultralight, and thermal
Bib shorts and vests
Performance jackets and hoodies
A dedicated running edition
Accessories such as arm warmers, leg warmers, and gloves

It invites both visual and physical movement — and the possibility of wearing a personal artistic statement.

Collaboration with Cycling

All pieces of this Special Art Edition are produced on demand – not pre-manufactured, but individually made to order. No stock items, no mass production – instead, unique pieces created with care and patience.

Delivery time is approximately 4–6 weeks – and that is precisely what makes the difference: You receive a high-quality, long-lasting design piece that is as individual as your own style.

Art Between Movement and Everyday Life

Marcel Wüst was one of the most successful German professional cyclists of his generation. With stage victories in all three Grand Tours — the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España — he became part of cycling history.

After ending his professional career, he devoted himself passionately to building his international team Casa Ciclista — a welcoming and performance-oriented network spanning Germany, Europe and the United States. The community combines athletic ambition with a shared joy of life — both on and off the bike.

What Connects Us

With Coming Home, two spheres that shape my artistic practice come together: art and movement.

That Coming Home finds its place within this edition is therefore far more than a design process. It is also an expression of my deep connection with Marcel — my husband, who spends much of his time on Mallorca, travels with the team, and yet returns at the end of every season. Coming Home is his story as well — and a quiet greeting from me to him.

Thus, Coming Home is not only an edition, but also an invitation to experience movement in a new way.

wineBANK Köln presents SUSANNE HERBOLD

DOLCE VITA & ART

The BELMOND Group (LVMH) and the art of SUSANNE HERBOLD were a perfect match at yesterday’s “Dolce Vita & Art” for the members of the exclusive private wine club wineBANK Cologne!

The world of luxury trains and exclusive hotel destinations was presented by Stephan Jablonski, Senior Account Director (DACH) of Belmond (LVMH), which emerged as a luxury goods group in its current form in 1987 from a merger of Moët Hennessy and Louis Vuitton. Since then, the group has acquired dozens of other big names in the industry.

Over 70 members celebrated this special evening by immersing themselves in the unique and exclusive destinations while enjoying great food, fantastic wines (such as Cloudy Bay and Whispering Angel) and having a completely new gallery experience. On display were 19 large-format, abstract works by the Cologne-based artist. A particular highlight of the exhibition is certainly the painting “Moment” (“Blue Series” from the year 2000). This work belongs to the private collection.

Looking back over the last few years, I can say that I have exhibited in many beautiful galleries and venues, but nothing has been as exciting as curating my work in a charismatic place like the wineBANK. It was a bit of a challenge to stage the exhibits perfectly without changing the extraordinary lighting concept of the wineBANK – “clamp spots on wine crates” became the preferred solution.

(Susanne Herbold)

Luxury Destinations & Art

As art is very important in the Belmond world and can be found in all our properties worldwide, such as La Residencia or Mount Nelson, both Belmond Hotels, we were happy that the evening was framed by the art of Susanne Herbold – the perfect match!

(Stephan Jablonski, Senior Account Director Belmond DACH)

About the founder

In 2008, Christian Ress, co-owner and managing director of the VDP winery Balthasar Ress, founded the first wineBANK in the German wine region Rheingau near Frankfurt. Since then, it has been the meeting place for wine lovers in Central Europe. Over the years, the unique Private Members’ Club concept has developed into a successful international network with locations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

A few years ago, the Frey brothers extensively restored the historic vaulted cellar of the former Otto Engels winery and opened the wineBANK Cologne in it. The wineBANK occupies a special position among the brothers’ various construction projects and the historic wine cellar immediately impresses all visitors – it’s hard to believe that something like this exists on Ebertplatz in the heart of Cologne’s city center!

The host

The wineBANK Köln is managed by Gunnar Oswald. He studied business administration in Cologne and works in the financial sector and start-up scene. As a foundation manager, art and culture, but especially equal opportunities for children, are close to his heart. He is driven and motivated by the joy of social commitment. He also actively promotes the cultivation of international friendships. As a native of Cologne, Gunnar was immediately impressed by the historic wine cellar of the former Otto Engels winery and is looking forward to further developing this unique location as a meeting place for wine lovers in Cologne.

Visibility of Art

My heartfelt thanks to Gunnar Oswald from wineBANK Cologne and Stephan Jablonski for this unique cooperation! In times like these, art is more important than ever. It has the ability to make people pause – to take them out of their tunnel of fast-paced life for a moment – to inspire them, perhaps even to give them something to take with them: New inspirations, a feeling of joy, an aspect of “vastness” in the context of one’s own limiting rationality…

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.

Cologne Pop-up exhibition City Lights

Susanne Herbold — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 09:09:37 +0000

POP-UP EXHIBITION „CITY-LIGHTS“ – ART IN COLOGNE

The pop-up exhibition “City Lights – Art in Cologne”

presented recent works by Susanne Herbold alongside other participating artists in a temporary exhibition space in Cologne’s historic Old Town.

Located close to the Rhine, the venue became an open meeting place for contemporary art over several days. Visitors gained insight into different artistic positions — ranging from abstract painting to figurative approaches — and were able to experience the works through direct exchange with the artists.

The exhibition was conceived as an accessible art space beyond traditional gallery structures. Through the temporary use of the location, art became visible within everyday urban life and accessible to a wider audience.

Susanne Herbold presented large-scale abstract paintings in which movement, colour space and emotional perception form central elements of her artistic practice. The works address memory, energy and atmospheric states, unfolding their impact particularly through direct spatial experience.

Further works by the artist were presented in the same year during Female Art Week Berlin at the Quantum Gallery.

The exhibition was made possible through the support of Clearstone Recruiting, who provided the venue for artistic use. The temporary nature of the space created an especially intense experience for both the audience and the participating artists.

Events such as City Lights illustrate how contemporary art can gain visibility beyond institutional frameworks and generate new forms of engagement between art and the public.

The organizational implementation of the exhibition was realized in collaboration with Panzo Entertainment.

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.

OPEN HOUSE & ART

Art & Lifestyle Event | Port d’Andratx, Mallorca

Art exhibition with spectacular views

Last Friday an extraordinary art and lifestyle event took place in the hills of Port d’Andratx, Mallorca. The German construction company Dressler & Partner together with Art to B – The Lifestyle Company invited to the open house event with vernissage of my current works in their newly built villa. The works were exhibited throughout the villa, which captivates not only with its architecture and furnishings, but also with a breathtaking view of the Tramuntana mountains and the harbor of Port d’Andratx.

The event was initiated by Prof. Bettina Manshausen and her daughter Sara, who together run the lifestyle company Art to B. In their portfolio the components real estate, art and lifestyle products are combined in perfection.

Perfect ambience with chill-out music

It was a dazzling evening with the most beautiful Mallorca weather and wonderful house music by DJ Jay Bermudez, who brought along his girlfriend & model Louisa Kapitza as accompaniment. In addition, a surprise of the evening was the premiere of an aperitivo Lacascara, already known in Germany, which is obtained from the coffee cherry and is presented by Art to B exclusively in Mallorca.

Moderation with heart

A special pleasure for me was not only to be able to look into the beaming faces of the guests (and at the same time at my beaming works), but also to be welcomed by a special moderator: My husband Marcel Wüst, who charmingly guided us through the evening with his multilingualism and moderation experience (ARD cycling expert, ex-professional racing cyclist).

I thank all our wonderful guests for coming and congratulate the buyers on their new works. A special thanks to the hosts Wolfgang and Kioma Dresser, as well as to Bettina Manshausen and Sara Fischer from Art to B. Last but not least thanks to Andreas Dieck for his spectacular drone-fotos and -videos, Enzo Amos Barbato & his team VinoCelo for the catering, as well as Joachim Schmitt (Schmitt-Raumdesign) for the great outdoor furniture.❤️

PS: The video “Enjoy OPEN HOUSE & ART” – with fantastic drone images of the villa – offers a particularly great insight into the exhibition. ⬇️

International Contemporary Masters XV – Publication (World Wide Art Books, USA)

The international publication International Contemporary Masters XV (World Wide Art Books, California/USA) presents a curated selection of contemporary artists from various countries.

The 2023 edition included a work by Susanne Herbold, which was presented in a four-page feature.

The annual compendium is considered a documentary overview of current positions in contemporary art and is distributed worldwide to galleries, collectors, and institutions. The inclusion in the work was made upon invitation after reviewing the artistic portfolio.

The publication is not intended as an exhibition catalog, but rather as a bibliographic documentation of contemporary artistic positions. It serves as a reference and archival source for galleries and curators on international art trends.

For the artist, inclusion in International Contemporary Masters marks an important step in terms of international visibility and long-term documentation of her work in an art-historical context.

SUSANNE HERBOLD

Susanne Herbold, born in 1970 in Germany, has cultivated a thriving studio-gallery in the heart of Cologne. This vibrant space not only showcases her exclusive works but also serves as a creative sanctuary where new artistic expressions come to life.

Herbold´s passion for painting ignited during her childhood, but it initially took a backseat to her business career. She pursued a Bachelor of Tourism (CCI) with honors and immersed herself in the fields of travel, tourism, and later, the automotive sector. Concurrently, she ensured her art gained visibility, allowing her creations to reach an ever-expanding audience, resulting in a surging demand for. Today, Herbold has wholeheartedly embraced her calling as a full-time artist.

Herbold´s art has transcended borders, gracing numerous international exhibitions in Italy, Spain, Germany, and the USA, including the illustrations Red Dot Miami during Art Basel Week. Her captivation works have found a cherished place in private collections across many countries.

“I perceive life as a splendid opportunity for perpetual development, contingent upon a healthy body, mind, and a well-balanced existence.” Herbold reflects. As the pace of our global society escalates relentlessly, external pressures mount. Western society, in particular, appears trapped in a perpetual hamster wheel, constantly chasing speed. In this frenzy, individuals risk losing touch with their values, their true selves, and their wellspring of inner inspiration, ultimately jeopardizing their health and overall joy of life.

Herbold´s paintings extend an invitation to pause and reflect. Notably, her abstract works offer viewers ample room for personal interpretations, encouraging introspection on the journey of life itself. Her artistic process has evolved over time, transitioning from a predominantly rational approach to a more intuitive one. While her earlier works sought to convey specific thoughts, ideas, and messages, today, Herbold finds depth and quality in the very act of creation. This evolution has been fueled by her personal and artistic growth. Reveling in the process of creation, she immerses herself in the flow, forging a harmonious connection between canvas and self.

Susanne Herbold´s artistic odyssey exemplifies the transformative power of self-discovery and the profound impact of art in fostering introspection. Through her thought-provoking works, she implores individuals to seek stillness amidst lift´s chaos. Herbold´s paintings serve as poignant reminders to reconnect with our inner selves, rekindle our passions, and find solace and joy in the enchanting realm of artistic expression.

Miami Art Week 2022 – International Exhibition

Red Dot Miami | Agora Gallery New York

As part of the international Miami Art Week 2022, my works were presented at the Red Dot Miami art fair in Florida. The participation took place in cooperation with Agora Gallery New York, with whom I had previously realized an exhibition in New York.

The fair takes place parallel to Art Basel Miami Beach and is one of the most important international art events of the year.

Agora Gallery award at Red Dot Miami

My work was presented by Agora Gallery New York. The gallery was awarded the prize for the best curated booth at Red Dot Miami during the fair. For me, participating was therefore also a special confirmation of our collaboration to date and an important step in my international exhibition activities.

International encounters and exchange

During the fair, I had numerous conversations with collectors, gallery owners, and visitors from various countries, which enabled a direct exchange about my work.

Miami Art Week is one of the most important art events worldwide and takes place parallel to Art Basel Miami Beach. Galleries, collectors, and curators from numerous countries come together in Miami during this week.

For me, participating was an important step in my international exhibition activities.

I was particularly pleased to be able to talk to visitors, collectors, and artists in person at the fair and gain direct insights into how my work was received.

The video recordings shown here give a brief impression of the exhibition setting and the atmosphere during the fair.

EXHIBITION INDEPENDENCE – COLOGNE 2022

The exhibition “Independence” was created during Art Cologne 2022 as a temporary pop-up gallery in downtown Cologne. It featured current works and large-format canvases from several series. The aim was to move art outside of traditional gallery spaces into the urban environment and enable direct dialogue with the public.

The exhibition opened with a vernissage, which also served as the first presentation of the pop-up gallery’s new premises.

The temporary use of the shop premises proved to be a special form of presentation: the large shop window provided an open view into the exhibition space, which immediately appealed to passers-by and promoted interaction between art and urban space.

Opening reception: November 18, 2022, 6–10 p.m.
Closing reception: January 21, 2023, 6–9 p.m.

Exhibition: November 21, 2022–January 21, 2023

EXHIBITION BERLIN

Galeria Azur Berlin – “Interlude”

Group exhibition (physical & digital)

August 27 – September 24, 2022

Berlin, Germany

Works from the Leaving Standards series were on display.

The exhibition at Galerie Azur Berlin was a special moment for me, as it was the first time that several large-format works were presented together in a physical space. The conversations with visitors and fellow artists during the opening were particularly valuable.

Opening of the exhibition “Interconnection & Intuition

On March 3, the opening of the international exhibition “Interconnection & Intuition” took place at Agora Gallery. The established gallery is located in the heart of Chelsea, the famous artists’ district of New York City and home to some of the world’s most prestigious galleries. I had the great pleasure of being represented there with 4 of my large scale works. It was my first international exhibition and the feedback on my work was extremely positive! Not only did I make new contacts with art enthusiasts, collectors and other galleries that evening, but I also had wonderful encounters with my fellow international artists.

New York – I look forward to our to see you again!

Artist´s Profile Susanne Herbold

Personal note:

This exhibition took place not only after the serious accident of my husband Marcel Wüst – but also exactly in the week, in which the situation between Russia and the “rest of the world” has intensified to the maximum. The war is here now and it certainly makes each of us speechless and powerless. I experience a situation between “fading out” and “hoping”, “wanting to be informed”, but also “questioning facts”. A great emptiness and a lack of understanding often remains. In the context of this exhibition, I have tried to push the current political situation a little to the side and to focus as best as possible on this event.

You certainly don’t feel any different in your everyday business life. Life goes on in the meantime. Let’s hold on to the fact that the situation will be defused as soon as possible and we can turn back to what should have the highest priority: To bring our earth (and ourselves!) back into the right balance.

Leaving Standards

New series: LEAVING STANDARDS

Time to go

My new series is called Leaving Standards, because I see this as the key to reaching the next level – be it on a personal or professional level and regardless of which industry we belong to or in which position we work. Whether we are entrepreneurs, scientists, athletes or artists – probably in a few years time, looking back, we will realize that everyone should thoroughly review their system/context in which they live every now and then.

This is only possible with one’s own honest reflection. Checking whether one’s own standards and values are still valid and (sometimes courageously) deriving new values and ways from them. And should we find out that one or the other is no longer valid for us, it does not mean that our way was wrong before! It only means that it no longer fits. Everything has its time – but this time is also constantly in motion.

Leaving standards

And so it was with my latest work: In the process of creating these two works, I have questioned all the techniques that I have acquired over the years, and tried new things. I turned to new colors, let new contrasts emerge. But I also decided anew which style of mine should remain and which not. The result: a powerful explosion of color: “Freak Out!”

When I look into the current world events with a greater distance, it occurs to me that here, too, much leaves the standards. Maybe (sadly) sometimes it takes the extreme before a new balance settles in…? #stayhealthy

Yours,
Susanne Herbold

“Freak Out! 1.0 and 2.0” are part of M.A.D.S Art Gallery’s digital exhibition “SACRIFICE.” This will run until December 23, 2021 . In this extraordinary concept, the works will not only be visible and “touchable” on giant touchscreen monitors. They will also be presented simultaneously in both M.A.D.S. Art Galleries (Milan and Fuerteventura). Below is an excerpt of the review by Marta Graziano | Curator M.A.D.S.:

The two works belong to the Leaving Standards series. They develop from a dominant colour (pink in Freak Out! 1.0 and blue in Freak Out! 2.0) that pervades the entire pictorialsurface, enveloping and enhancing the vivid colour combinations that occupy the centre of the composition. Both canvases suggest vitality, freedom and slight unruliness, all sensations suitable for
conveying Susanne’s interpretation of the exhibition’s theme.

Indeed, through these dynamic compositions, she reinterprets the concept of sacrifice, highlighting not the sense of loss usually associated with it, but its ability to stimulate change. For her, sacrifice means
accepting what has already been done and questioning our beliefs in order to adapt to the next level. Her works celebrate sacrifice as a prelude to innovation, making us reflect on how abandoning the known to
take new paths does not mean sacrificing and denying what we have already done and experienced. Demonstrating that she has interpreted the theme of this exhibition perfectly, Susanne conceives these
works as a gift for her audience. It is a symbolic offer to the viewer, through which she grants access to a limitless dimension in which everything becomes possible

Email from New York: Agora Gallery

Probably every artist dreams of the chance of an international presence, but when it suddenly arrives on the doorstep, it’s even more exciting!

Having recently closed another chapter in my life, I received a surprise email the same day from a gallery in New York. This gallery was none other than the established Agora Gallery in the heart of Chelsea, New York City’s famous artists’ district, home to some of the world’s most prestigious galleries. They became aware of my work and felt that I would be a great fit for their gallery’s modern portfolio.

After some email correspondence and a video conference with the director, it was decided: Herbold-art goes to New York!

Exhibition: March 1 to 22, 2022

In addition to professional support from the Agora team, online marketing of my works on ART.mine, and networking with the New York art market, there will also be an exhibition at the gallery from March 01 to 22, 2022. This will cover the first floor and the 2nd floor of the building 530 West 25th Street – in the middle of the famous artist district Chelsea. Along with other international artists, I will of course be present at the opening night of the exhibition on March 03.

I am very happy to be part of the Agora family of artists and to have the opportunity to meet international art lovers, artists and collectors. In my social media channels as well as in my network “JOIN-MY-ART” I will of course report in detail about my experiences and news.

So…let´s go to New York!
Sag mir Bescheid, wenn Du in der Nähe bist! :)
