About the workKonrad Klapheck studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the 1950s. He chose his motifs from everyday items, machines and mechanical devices, which he himself categorised as either male or female. By considering these things worthy of depiction, they gained in significance. The way they are represented reinforces this idea – both in Klapheck’s large-format paintings as well as his smaller graphic prints. Evocative titles such as “Harem” highlight Klapheck’s own interpretation of these objects.
