Nofretete
Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum, February 2016
Taken at the exhibition Isa Genzken - Mach Dich hübsch!, 29 November 2015 – 6 March 2016.
According to the museum label, "Isa Genzken's Nofretete is a playfully critical comment on the tradition of the (self-)portrait and the position of women in art history." Yeah, right... (Sigh...)
For those of us with an Egyptological interest, however, there is some humour in the fact that it is precisely Nefertiti whom we see here showing a range of sunglasses. An unintentional, playful comment on her relationship to the sun god Aten?
