Subtle material poetry in Düsseldorf: Inge Schmidt at basedonart
With see you then, basedonart presents an exhibition in Düsseldorf that focuses on concentration rather than sensationalism. Inge Schmidt works with a precise visual language of plastic, drawing, and spatial arrangement. Her art has an impact not through loudness, but through the quiet tension of material, line, and form. The presentation runs from September 4 to October 31, 2026; the exhibition location is the Galerie basedonart in Flingern. ([artjunk.de](https://www.artjunk.de/venue/boa-basedonart/))
Material that rearranges space
Inge Schmidt is a sculptor, born in 1944 in Bonn, living and working in Cologne. She studied sculpture at Städel in Frankfurt am Main from 1975 to 1981 with Michael Croissant and received a guest scholarship at the Villa Romana in Florence in 1987. In 2018, she was awarded the August Macke Medal by the city of Bonn. Her works are part of public and private collections. ([inge-schmidt.de](https://www.inge-schmidt.de/bio.htm))
This biography explains the unique perspective of her work: Schmidt does not think in decorative surfaces, but in physical presence, spatial order, and the quiet authority of the material. Lightweight woods, cardboard, corrugated cardboard, tape, string, and wire become carriers of a reduced yet highly sensitive language of form. The gallery describes her works as characterized by an extraordinary concentration on material, form, and spatial presence. ([artjunk.de](https://www.artjunk.de/venue/boa-basedonart/))
Between sculpture, object, and drawing
The exhibition brings into focus the boundary areas where sculpture, object, and drawing intertwine. The allure lies in the open construction: layers, line movements, and fragile connections make the works seem to grow, as if they emerge directly from the thinking about space. This is where the poetic core of this exhibition lies. It makes visible how independent aesthetic experiences arise from unassuming materials.

basedonart, as an artist-run gallery, emphasizes transcultural dialogue and showcases art that makes connections visible across time and culture. The space at Birkenstraße 112 in Düsseldorf-Flingern provides a fitting framework: a gallery with a clear focus on curatorial precision and contemporary art. Opening hours: Thursday and Friday 2–6 PM, Saturday 12–4 PM, and by appointment. ([visitduesseldorf.de](https://www.visitduesseldorf.de/en/attractions/basedonart-382b6f2b1e))
Curated reduction with great impact
Those who visit this exhibition experience not a loud spectacle, but a condensed exhibition atmosphere. The works demand closeness, quietness, and careful observation. This is where their strength lies: they open the eye to the durability of simple materials and to an art that gains strength from restraint. For art enthusiasts who want to experience sculptures and drawings in dialogue, this event is among the notable Düsseldorf exhibitions of autumn 2026.

In the end, there is a compelling art experience that connects material, space, and form in a particularly clear way. see you then invites you to discover the subtle shifts in Inge Schmidt's work live and to experience the fine precision of her plastic pieces and drawings on site.
