TEXTILE PICTURES

Saxony – and particularly the region between Chemnitz and Zwickau – was once a centre of the European textile industry. The artist Ulrich Reimkasten, who grew up in Lichtenstein/Sa., first learned the foundations of textile design here – an influence that has shaped his entire career as a visual artist. Now, after 50 years, both the artist and his large-scale textile works return to this place as part of Chemnitz 2025. A spatial installation and a complementary cabinet exhibition invite visitors to explore the connections between his origins and artistic legacy in a new way.
