About Caroline Weihrauch
Weihrauch's works not only include floral subjects but images of landscapes, architecture and interiors, as well as ornamental motifs. Caroline Weihrauch was born in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany. Between 1983 and 1988, she studied art and cultural studies at the Hochschule der Künste in Berlin, which she followed directly with a degree in painting.
A one-of-a-kind or unique piece is a work of art that has been personally created by the artist. It exists only once due to the type of production (oil painting, watercolours, drawing, etc.).
In addition to the classic unique pieces, there exist the so-called "serial unique pieces". They present a series of works with the same colour, motif and technique, manually prepared by the same artist. The serial unique pieces are rooted in "serial art", a type of modern art, that aims to create an aesthetic effect through series, repetitions and variations of the same objects or themes or a system of constant and variable elements or principles.
In the history of arts, the starting point of this trend was the work "Les Meules" (1890/1891) by Claude Monet, in which for the first time a series was created that went beyond a mere group of works. The other artists, who addressed to the serial art, include Claude Monet, Piet Mondrian and above all Gerhard Richter.
