Kitchen Pictures

In November 1993, Judith Samen organized the exhibition “Küchen-Bilder” (Kitchen Pictures) featuring her paintings in private kitchens in Düsseldorf. Through a newspaper ad, she found five art enthusiasts who were willing to open their kitchens for one day each to host an art exhibition and welcome the public. Over the course of a week, a different painting was displayed in each kitchen each evening. A meal was prepared for the audience to complement the artwork on display. Each evening thus became a happening.
