Overview
- About 150 paintings and prints are on view through January 3, 2026 in the chapel of the Taschenbergpalais Kempinski in Dresden’s Old Town.
- The presentation is curated by Galerie Walentowski and mixes new originals with limited-edition prints centered on Waalkes’s Ottifant motif.
- Notable pieces include “Das Ottifantenmädchen,” a playful take on Liotard’s “Das Schokoladenmädchen,” inspired by the original in Dresden’s Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
- Waalkes says galleries see too little laughter, drawing on old-master techniques from his art studies and even using tea to create an aged patina.
- Visiting details reported locally note daily opening hours except Mondays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with free admission.
