Sofi Žesmer's art work

Sofi Žesmer Exhibit Openend in Wiesbaden
February 24, 2008. An exhibition of uniquely colorful and unusual art opened on February 24 at Museum Wiesbaden, featuring works by the internationally renowned U.S. artist Sofi Žesmer, who was born in Poland and now lives in Wiesbaden.  Sofie Žesmer's works "inspire the imagination; they are just plain fun while at the same time instilling reflection about the traditional categories that art is usually put into," as James Seward, Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Consulate General Frankfurt, said in his opening remarks. Museum Director Dr. Volker Rattemeyer pointed out that "REM-Phase" features works by Sofi Žesmer from the past four years and is an example of Museum Wiesbaden's focus on providing a platform for contemporary artists who are usually exhibiting their works in commercial galleries or art associations. Deputy Director of the Museum and curator of the exhibit, Dr. Renate Petzinger, introduced the over 300 guests of the opening to Sophie Žesmer's art works.

The exhibit will remain at Museum Wiesbaden until May 25. There will be a talk with the artist on Thursday, April 17 at 18:00 at Museum Wiesbaden. Museum Wiesbaden is also currently showing works of U.S. artist Robert Indiana until May 18.
