Created in the 1st century AD in Rome, the Laocoon Group in the Vatican Museums is one of the most important antique sculptures.

The artist Martina Klein, born in Trier in 1962, lives and works in Düsseldorf. At a first glance her works are comprised of monochrome paintings, but Klein relates these to a room. Martina Klein does not hang her images on the wall, as it is typical in museums or galleries - she positions them in the middle of a room, leans them against pillars or walls or forms right angles with them.
