Helga Michie : I Am Beginning to Want What I Am

This bilingual monograph marks the first time her previously largely unknown artistic oeuvre, giving voice to her own experiences of Nazi oppression and exile, is documented in its entirety. The book includes texts by friends as well as academic contributions discussing both Michie's far-reaching relationships with Austrian expats in London and the early separation of the twin sisters, whose diverging paths open up complementary perspectives on a common fate. "Where does the consolation from these pictures come from? It is a mystery, but it's there" - Ilse Aichinger on the works of her twin sister.
