Signing session in Hof: Siggi Schmidt signs her book Hof – My City. A Declaration of Love

Amid colors, memories, and lived urban culture, the painter from Hof, Siggi Schmidt, invites you to a personal author encounter at the Buchgalerie in the Old Town Courtyard. For two hours, an intimate reading atmosphere of a special kind will be created: signatures, short conversations, an immediate literary experience around the namesake book relating to the current exhibition.

Art becomes book: Urban poetry in vibrant colors

Schmidt's visual language transforms everyday motifs into visual eye-catchers and translates her narratives of city love into freshly printed pages. The stylistic signature – color-intensive, detail-oriented, committed to the genre of city views – bears witness to linguistic and artistic craftsmanship that enriches the cultural discourse on home and urban identity.

Work classification and literary quality

The book Hof – My City. A Declaration of Love accompanies the artist's exhibition at the Freiheitshalle. It brings together selected paintings and condenses them into a narrative topography of Hof. The overall effect creates an aesthetic city chronicle, whose reading shifts between image essay, artistic catalog, and poetic homage.

Biographical context

The native of Erlangen has lived in Hof since 1990 and deepened her art through seminars and a study at the Leonardo Art Academy in Salzburg. Her continuous practice, painting courses, and exhibitions underpin the authority of her oeuvre and form the basis for this book project, which will become tangible at the signing session.

What visitors can expect

A concentrated format without stage production: personal dedications, time for questions at the signing table, and the opportunity to connect the book and thematic worlds directly with the artist. A literary experience for collectors, friends of urban culture, and all who love visual storytelling.

Conclusion

Anyone wishing to experience the connection of art, book culture, and urban history live should not miss this signing session. Come to the Buchgalerie in the Old Town Courtyard and take home a signed copy – a piece of Hof culture that lasts.
