Anonymous Drawings 2024

From November 16, 2024 to January 12, 2025, two projects dealing with the medium of drawing will be presented at Berlin's Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bethanien: ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS — a project for original drawings, curated by the artist Anke Becker.

Around 1000 drawings by 1000 international artists will be presented as part of the exhibition ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS 2024 at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin. The works will be exhibited with no mention of authorship or title and offered for sale at a symbolic unit price of 250 euros.

The identity of the artist is revealed only after the work is sold: Sold drawings will be taken right off the wall. The empty space left behind will be marked with the artist's full name and place of origin. The given unit sales price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a conceptual place holder for any conceivable amount of money in the art market.

The exhibition was preceded by an international open call for entries. Everyone was eligible. There were no requirements in terms of content or form. The only requirement was that the submitted drawing is no bigger than A3.

Age, biography or gender of the artists were not requested and did not play any role in the anonymous selection process.

The exhibited drawings were selected from over 4400 submissions by the artist and project founder Anke Becker. All the drawings were put together in collaboration with the artists Veronike Hinsberg and Inken Reinert to create a collective work of art.
