About Anonymous Drawings
How are our judgements about art affected by our knowledge of the artist’s name and background? How is the value of a drawing determined? Where is the boundary between art and non-art?
The exhibition features 400 drawings by 400 international artists. The works are presented with no mention of authorship or title and offered for sale at a symbolic price of 250€ each. The identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is sold: Sold drawings will be taken right off the wall and the empty space left behind will be marked with the artist‘s full name and place of origin.
ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS is conceptual art and an exhibition project all in one: the works of the participating artists become part of a large wall installation; a hierarchy-free homage to the diverse medium of drawing.
The exhibition was preceded by an international open call for entries. There were no requirements in terms of content or form. The only requirement was that the submitted drawing is no bigger than A3. Age, biography or gender of the artists were not requested and did not play any role in the anonymous selection process.
The exhibited drawings were selected by the artist and project founder Anke Becker. All drawings were put together in collaboration with the artists Veronike Hinsberg and Inken Reinert to create a collective work of art.
Parallel to the exhibition of ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS, the project LINES FICTION will present an extensive series of 116 animated short films by international artists.
