Sabine Moritz

b. 1969

Born 1969 in Quedlinburg, Germany, painter Sabine Moritz’s work draws from a variety of sources including personal memory, documentary images, and her immediate surroundings. Her drawings and paintings explore how memories can be made visual, and serve as records of the artist’s specific and personal experiences, from her childhood in the East German town of Jena, to abstract notions of transience, decay and seriality. Moritz studied at Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach (1991) and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (1994). She currently lives and works in Cologne.

Her work is housed in public collections at Tate Modern, London; Sifang Art Museum, Nanjing; LVMH, Paris; Lenbachhaus, Munich; Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Düsseldorf; Faber-Castell Art Collection; Deutsche Bank Collection, Frankfurt and Aïshti Foundation, Jal El Dib.
