exhibition "Stars over Paris" inspires

An absolute must for art lovers is the exhibition "Stars About Paris", which presents the works of the Parisian artist Sergio Birga (1940-2021). It is a tribute to his artistic encounters, especially with German expressionists, and can be seen as the first public exhibition in Germany that shows Birgas works. Around 80 paintings are shown here that capture the artist's unmistakable view of the world. Birga was known for his woodcuts, which were often inspired by Franz Kafka's novels. The exhibition is temporarily housed in the Lindenau Museum because it is converted in Altenburg Castle. A catalog that accompanies the exhibition contains not only contributions from experts, but also letters and drawings made available by Birgas widow.

In order to understand the encounters and creative exchange with artists such as Otto Dix and Ludwig Meidner, a visit to the exhibition on Sunday, July 20, 2025, is particularly recommended at 11 a.m. Emilia Pradel is accompanied by the "stars over Paris" leadership, with the admission prices to be reduced at 4 euros and 3 euros.
