Summary: The human figure was always the focus of Friedrich Einhoff's art practice, right from the very start. He uses his range of motifs in a resolute and imaginative way, moving between differentiation and simplification to create an impressive climax. This monograph was published on the occasion of Friedrich Einhoff receiving the Plakette award from the Freie Akademie der Künste (Free Academy of Fine Arts) in Hamburg and the Hans-Platschek Prize for Art and Text 2009. Exhibition: Kunsthaus Hamburg, 26 February - 10 May 2009.
