Modern Art from a Private Collection in Düsseldorf

Welcome to a curated collection of modern art.
Stefanie Schneider (b. 1968) is represented by six works. A German photographer born in Cuxhaven, she lives in Berlin and Los Angeles. Created using old—and in some cases fading—Polaroid materials, the images evoke a dreamy atmosphere.
Schneider’s photographs display the characteristic appearance of expired Polaroid instant film, complete with the effects of chemical alteration. She designed the cover art for the Red Hot Chili Peppers single "Desecration Smile" (2006) and Cyndi Lauper’s album Bring Ya to the Brink (2008).

Peter Handel (b. 1949) is represented by two works. He is a freelance artist with numerous solo exhibitions and art fair participations to his name in Germany, the USA, Amsterdam, London, and Seoul. His highly realistic nude studies capture light, shadow, and three-dimensional form through the application of translucent glazes.
His 2013 oil painting "Luise im Loft" depicts a large-scale, photorealistic female nude.
