From German artistic circles, she seemed almost indispensable – back in the 1960s and early 70s. As a photographer, Angelika Platen made art history by capturing everyone who would later become significant figures. "The dialogue with artists is my passion," she stated in her own words. Gerhard Richter looks deeply into the artist's eye through the lens of the photographer. She depicts the young Günther Uecker as a fakir at the piano and Sigmar Polke with long hair in a tree hideout. Much later, when Platen returned to photography after a long creative pause in the early 2000s, she realized that she had photographed almost exclusively men.

To balance this, she now portrayed, also inspired by MeToo, an increased number of female artists. The exhibition "My Women" focuses entirely on her protagonists of art history. Hanne Darboven in a suit and Cornelia Schleime with a feather cap, Marina Abramovic "Standing by the Wall" and Leiko Ikemura lying on the floor. Intense and meaningful portraits that provide personal insights into the scene of the last decades.
