AT RIVA
Following a successful exhibition of works by pop art artist Heiner Meyer and GALERIE TERMINUS Munich, the renowned gallery presented the art of Helge Leiberg at the RIVA Hotel on Lake Constance from February 2025 to May 2026. In his exhibition, the Dresden-born artist impressively focused on the representation of women by addressing their different roles in the 20th and 21st centuries. From objects of admiration and idealized muses to autonomous creators, he viewed women from various perspectives and depicted and honored them through both painting and sculpture.
