Explanation about the origin of the catalogue GALLI-OSKAR PASTIOR, where the painting appears: Max Frisch lived in Galli's house, among many other intellectuals. Through Max and Marianne Frisch, who still lives in Sarrazinstrasse, Galli got to know many literary figures. Oskar Pastior was one of them. The anagrams already existed, Galli's works too, except for the one she dedicated to him - 'Fiji in Transit (O.P.)'. Anyway, over the years a friendship developed between the two. So the idea was born to bring their works (paintings & poems) together in a catalog.
Max Frisch wohnte u.a. bei Galli im Haus, viele Intellektuelle unter einem Dach. Durch Max und Marianne Frisch, die heute noch in der Sarrazinstrasse lebt, lernte Galli viele Literaten kennen. So auch Oskar Pastior. Die Anagramme gab es bereits, Galli’s Arbeiten auch, bis auf die eine, die sie ihm widmete - 'Fidschi im Transit (O.P.)'. Jedenfalls entstand über die Jahre eine Freundschaft zwischen beiden. So entstand die Idee, die Werke in einem Katalog zusammen zu führen.
Galli, 'Absage ans Paradies', brunand brunand, Berlin, November 11th, 2021 - January 8th, 2022 The King Is Dead, Long Live the Queen, 12.05.—08.10.2023, Museum Frieder Burda, Baden Baden
