The Max Pechstein Honorary Award of the City of Zwickau 2023 goes to the artist Doris Ziegler, who was born in Weimar and works in Leipzig. She is one of the most important artists of the Leipzig School - and yet the painter is still known only to a smaller audience.

The motif of the boat is at the center of the first major retrospective of the painter Doris Ziegler. In her work it appears as an existential symbol for a permanent transition with an uncertain destination. One of the highlights of the exhibition, along with other important groups of works, is the "Passages" cycle (1988-1994), which is being shown almost in its entirety for the first time.
