At the tenth conference of the Association of Visual Artists of the German Democratic Republic in 1988, the artist Angela Hampel criticized gender inequality in society, including in the art world: "This is not only about a change of status, but about a shift in the totality of human relations." A year later, with Eva Anderson, Ulrike Rösner, and Gudrun Trendafilov, Hampel founded a group that still exists today, the "Dresdner Sezession 89," which at the time included 23 women artists. It has been their aim to make women artists visible and to overcome their marginalized position through joint exhibitions. The portfolio Nudes contains 12 graphic works which, using various techniques, depict the human body in its capacity of expressing experiences and feelings such as love and loneliness. In this way, they investigate "the totality of human relations."
