Michaela Eichwald's 'MÄR' Opens at Maureen Paley, London
The exhibition titled 'MÄR' features the German artist Michaela Eichwald and is organized by Maureen Paley. You can check it out at the gallery on 60 Three Colts Lane and Studio M until May 23, 2026. Eichwald's background includes studying philosophy, history, and art history in Cologne, and she has collaborated with notable artists like Michael Krebber and Cosima von Bonin. Language plays a vital role in her art, which often uses unique materials such as printed polyurethane and lacquer. Her pieces might be deliberately modified before stretching, showcasing her critical take on Abstract Expressionism and Art Informel. The name 'MÄR' means story or fable in ancient German. A monograph featuring her work will come out from Walther König in Cologne in 2026, with contributions from Elena Filipovic and Renate Wagner.
