In our Munich location, Schifferle presents recent works on paper and sculpture. Her Ohne Titel, aus der Serie Rainbowpapers—vivid compositions on printing paper created with pigment acrylic markers—reflect a direct and intuitive approach to image-making. These works engage color and form with emotional immediacy, expressing inner states through graphic, abstract gestures. The sculptural works, though visually soft in appearance, are technically complex and materially dense. Developed through a specialized casting process, their seemingly cushion-like surfaces belie their true solidity and weight—underscoring Schifferle’s ongoing interest in the tension between perception and physicality. While distinct in medium, both bodies of work are rooted in her singular artistic voice: poetic, raw, and deeply attuned to the complexities of human experience. 

Klaudia Schifferle’s solo exhibition ‘Play the Red Line’ will open at Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin for Gallery Weekend, 2025.

KLAUDIA SCHIFFERLE (b. 1955, Zurich) is internationally recognized as a painter, sculptor, musician, songwriter, and author. Her multifaceted practice spans media and methods, and has evolved over decades through a commitment to experimentation and emotional honesty. Active since the 1970s, Schifferle’s work resists easy categorization, drawing instead from a deeply personal, intuitive process. While she was a founding member of the all-female band Kleenex (later LiLiPUT) in the late 1970s, her visual art stands independently of that musical legacy. Her focus has consistently been on exploring states of being—through color, material, and form—in ways that are both direct and introspective.

Schifferle was awarded the Vordemberge Gildewart Foundation Prize (1983), the Zurich Art Society Prize (1988), and the Art Prize of the City of Zurich (2012).
