The Dutch artist Johan Thorn Prikker left his mark on the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld in 1923 with the monumental mural cycle "Ages of Life". He depicted "Childhood", "Adolescence", "Manhood" and "Maturity" with large, abstract figures, applied paint to the dry masonry in the so-called Thorn Prikker Hall and caused a sensation with his work.

Even today, it has lost none of its significance. Reason enough for the British artist Emma Talbot to explore the museum's central exhibit in the tenth exhibition in the "Collection Satellites" series.

"Lebensalter" is considered a major work by Thorn Prikker (1868-1932), who is known for his highly symbolic and expressionist works. With her work, Talbot enters into a dialog with Thorn Prikker's masterpiece and creates an installation especially for this room, which also thematically and stylistically deals with life and its transience.

Emma Talbot brings her characteristic style, which includes colorful installations made of painted silk, sculptures, drawings and videos, to the discussion. The winner of the prestigious Max Mara Art Prize for Women and participant in the Biennale di Venezia 2022 expands the space through her artistic signature, which demonstrates a deep understanding of historical and symbolic contexts.
