Brigitte Meier-Denninghoff (1923–2011) is one of a small number of female German artists to have enjoyed an international career between the 1950s and 1970s with her sculpture and drawings. She was the only female sculptor, indeed the only woman, among the founders of the notable group of German artists ZEN 49. Milestones along her path to success were the invitations to take part in documenta in Kassel in 1959 and 1964 and the Biennale di Venezia in 1962. She was awarded major prizes for her art and was featured in the relevant publications about sculpture after 1945. And yet her name remains largely unknown. If anything, she is recognised as one half of the acclaimed Berlin duo Matschinsky-Denninghoff.
