• Extraordinarily large and in her typical intense palette: Xenia Hausner stages the objects in her still lifes as if they were artificially illuminated film stills.
• Fragments of a narrative: the title seems to refer to the dance hall “Clärchens Ballhaus” in Berlin, or is it the room of a girl named Klärchen?
• The Austrian artist is considered one of the most important figurative painters of our time.
• Most recently, her works were exhibited in a major solo show at the Albertina, Vienna, in 2021.
