Annette Kelm Map with Flower, 2025
102,2 x 77,2 x 4 cm (framed)
The work is from Annette Kelm's series of still lifes combining plants and objects. Two single upright flowers in a glass vessel are posed before a brightly colored world map which appears to be split but is really only creased to a sharp edge. A characteristic of these works is the tension between organic materials and human-made objects, set against backgrounds that appear at the same time casually arranged and deliberately composed.
