STEIGENBERGER ICON FRANKFURTER HOF

CHUNQING HUANG

ICONIC ART is the new exhibition series of the Steigenberger Icons. It begins programmatically with COMING HOME at the Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof.
Under the motto MUSEUM GOES HOTEL, the artist CHUNQING HUANG has developed the new format for art exhibitions curated at museum level in the hotel as a place to live and has curated the premiere of the exhibition series together with MATTHIAS ULRICH, curator of the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT.
In addition to autobiographical references, HUANG also refers to her famous artist colleague MAX BECKMANN, who used to celebrate with champagne in the hotel's legendary author's bar when one of his artworks was collected, as SILKE HOHMANN reports in MONOPOL.
While "Max Beckmann" (2020), Chunqing Huang's abstract, conceptual portrait of her famous artist colleague, hangs on the wall there, an antiquarian book copy of Beckmann's play stands in the well-lit display case next to it. In the Autorenbar and other rooms in the public area of the Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof, Chunqing Huang is showing paintings from her series "Painter's Portrait" and "Wandering in Absolute Freedom" as well as photographic art from her series "City Life". 

In October 2024, Chunqing Huang will present COMING HOME, the art book of the same name accompanying the exhibition, at a book launch. The book will be published by the renowned VERLAG FÜR MODERNE KUNST, VIENNA.

 Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, the show has already been extended twice, now until April 13, 2025

CHUNQING HUANG, born in 1974, came to Germany from China in 2000 after studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing (1994-1998). She lives in Frankfurt, where she studied at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste - Städelschule under Wolfgang Tillmans and Peter Angermann and was a master student of Hermann Nitsch in 2004. Most recently, her series of works "Painter's Portrait" was shown in 2021 in an institutional double exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wiesbaden and the Museum Wiesbaden and in 2022 in a gallery exhibition in Berlin.
