This work contains a foreword by Anne Pontegnie, and essays by Clemens Krummel, Emily Speers Mears, and Andrew Renton. Sophie von Hellerman is a German-born, London-based artist whose paintings have a general appearance of nonchalance and naivety while drawing their content from a sophisticated appropriation and re-imagination of art history. "The subject matter of her essentially narrative paintings in at the intersection of a personal and collective history, without there being any clear boundaries between the two...No topic is any more serious than any other for von Hellermann; there is only a contamination and simultaneous construction of the individual and the collective, reality and fiction" - Anne Pontegnie.
