WIR ATMEN DIE LUFT DIE WIR ATMEN

WE BREATHE THE AIR WE BREATHE
A title that has taken on greater significance in light of the consequences of climate change.
But what can one person do?
This work is a wonderful example of how small things can add up to great things,
- tiny brushstrokes to small panels, to large pictorial ensembles, to enormous installations.
In this spirit, Annette von der Bey is donating a tree to the city of Mönchengladbach
with every individual painting sold in this installation.
And just as these many small, unique canvases create a larger overall picture,
every tree, no matter how small, can improve the climate.

The installation, featuring 312 paintings, is on display in the council chamber of the Abbey Town Hall in Mönchengladbach until March 2026.
The individual paintings, each 20 cm x 30 cm in oil on canvas, are for sale for €1,450 each.
For each painting sold, the artist is donating a tree (Trunk circumference 12-14 cm) to the city.
