# Eva Frankfurther: *Das Leben malen* Oct 23, 2026 – Feb 14, 2027 · coming up - Thu, Oct 22, 2026: Opening, 7 pm, with welcome remarks and an introduction by Dr. Dorothea Schöne, Ruth Ur and curator Sarah MacDougall More than 40 paintings and works on paper by Eva Frankfurther, portraying immigrants and workers in postwar London. The first solo show of Frankfurther’s work in Berlin-Dahlem, where she was born in 1930, covers her short career, which ended with her death in 1959. Her portraits and scenes of daily life centre on migrants, workers and residents of London’s East End, among them Whitechapel market traders and West Indian waitresses. Her style draws on Käthe Kollwitz’s socially engaged imagery and on the new figurative realism of 1950s Britain. A bilingual German–English catalogue accompanies the show, which is organised with the Exilmuseum Berlin.
