Rooted in research developed for Glamour — an exhibition presented at the Georg Kolbe Museum, Berlin, in 2008 — The Neue Frau is a proposed exhibition that revisits representations of women in 1920s Germany. The project researches how women were depicted during the Weimar Republic, a period of profound social and cultural transformation, and the bold new image of womanhood it produced. Through selected works by leading artists of the period, the project aims to trace how this new female identity was constructed and reflected in visual culture.

The exhibition might bring together paintings, drawings, and graphic works - including those by Nikolai Zagrekov - alongside a curated selection of 1920s magazines and printed materials. It might feature artworks by major figures such as Otto Dix, Tamara de Lempicka, and Sonia Delaunay, whose representations of women played a crucial role in shaping the visual language of modernity. The project might also include works by Christian Schad and Lotte Laserstein, offering nuanced and psychologically rich perspectives on the evolving image of womanhood.

Complementing these works, covers and editorial imagery from influential publications such as Die Dame, UHU, Elida Illustrierte Schönheitspflege, Elegante Welt, and Jugend might be presented as key visual sources that shaped and disseminated the image of the modern woman. By placing fine art in dialogue with mass media, the project offers a nuanced perspective on the intersection of artistic and popular representations of femininity in the early twentieth century.
