Elisabeth Ahnert

Elisabeth Ahnert was born in Chemnitz in 1885 and studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts and Crafts from 1908. She moved to Ehrenfriedersdorf in 1945 and lived here until her death in 1966. Elisabeth Ahnert is undoubtedly one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and is mentioned in the same breath as artists such as Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Münter and Käthe Kollwitz. The exhibition provided an overview of her extensive oeuvre, with works from several state and private collections on display. The street inauguration was the first "Elisabeth Ahnert Street".
