Christa Sammler

[3] 1951 was the year in which she passed her school final exam ("Abitur") which opened the way for a university-level education.

She studied between 1951 and 1956 at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts where she was taught by Walter Arnold.

[4] However, it was probably more important in defining her own approach that between 1956 and 1958 she was a "Master student" ("Meisterschülerin") with Gustav Seitz at the East German Academy of Arts.

[4] Projects that have benefitted from her interventions over the years have included the mews in Potsdam's Dutch Quarter and old building facades at the Neues Museum in Berlin.

[1] It was reported in 2014 that Christa Sammler had transferred her entire artistic estate to the Winckelmann Museum in Stendal (an hour or so[clarification needed] to the west of Berlin).
