Julia Wachtel: Return to Content a/b
about exhibition
Klemm’s is pleased to present Return to Content a/b, Julia Wachtel’s (b. 1956, lives and works in New York and Connecticut) first comprehensive solo exhibition in Germany.
A collaborative project between Jahn und Jahn and Klemm’s, Return to Content a/b offers an expansive overview of Wachtel’s practice across Munich and Berlin.
Julia Wachtel’s oil, acrylic, and silkscreen-on-canvas paintings explore the impact of our image-saturated world. Wachtel is a prominent figure among the Pictures Generation artists who emerged in early-1980s New York, brought together by a shared interest in the proliferation of images across popular culture, mass media, and advertising.
Return to Content a/b opens at Klemm’s in Berlin on September 10 and at Jahn und Jahn in Munich on September 17. Both exhibitions will be accompanied by a text by Jens Asthoff.
On the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Julia Wachtel: Return to Content a/b during Berlin Art Week 2026, an artist talk with Julia Wachtel and Philipp Hindahl will take place on 12 SEP at 4pm. Please RSVP to invite@klemms-berlin.com.
