Sort by

Ursula Burghardt, who was born in Halle an der Saale, fled to Buenos Aires in 1936 with her parents to escape the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany. In Buenos Aires she later studied painting and printmaking, and from 1952 to 1953 she studied sculpture in Paris. Burghardt had already participated in many exhibitions in South America when she moved to Cologne in 1957 with her husband, composer Mauricio Kagel. She was greatly affected by the experience of living as a Jew in West Germany, which at the time rampantly denied its involvement in the Holocaust. Between 1960 and 1965, family circumstances compelled Burghardt to forgo a studio for an extended period and take a break from art-making to care for her two daughters.
