Sabine Moritz is a German painter and graphic designer born communist East Germany in 1969. Just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, she escaped with her family to West Germany. She is married to the artist Gerhard Richter, whom she sought out as a painting teacher during her studies at Düsseldorf Art Academy.
Sabine Moritz’s work is a manifestation of memory and release. She returns repeatedly to specific scenes from her childhood that have become indelibly imprinted on her psyche. Some works are created entirely from memory, while for others she uses photographs, newspapers, family album snapshots, and other found images. Her paintings portray the personal and collective history of, and the passing of, a period in time.
