A new exhibition can now be seen in the inner courtyard of the main building in the Botanical Garden of the City of Chemnitz, Leipziger Straße 147. Entitled "Time Window", the works by artist Jutta Klötzer allow viewers to look through a window into the early Eocene era.
The exhibition can be seen daily until 30 April 2026 during the Botanic Garden's opening hours and is accessible free of charge.
The six large-format works show inclusions of flora and fauna in amber, which inspired Jutta Klötzer during her holidays on Hiddensee. The "gold of the trees" from the Eocene, a key period for the evolution of mammals due to extremely rapid climate warming, dates back between 56 and 35 million years. The Baltic amber made of tree resin (succinite) was therefore formed long before the first humans and fascinates with inclusions of organisms in almost unchanged form.
This historical arbitrariness impressed the artist greatly. In her works, she appeals to respect for life on our planet in all its abundance of species and also reminds us of our transience, as three smaller works demonstrate. The amber paintings are executed in a mixed technique: Tempera and watercolour painting, ink and pen drawings make each picture in the series unique.
Jutta Klötzer grew up in Dresden and completed youth courses and evening studies at the HfBK Dresden before beginning and successfully completing her studies at the Hochschule für Kunst und Design, Halle Burg Giebichenstein in 1978. Since 1990, the artist has lived in Einbeck in southern Lower Saxony, where she is chairwoman of the Kunsthaus Einbeck e. V., a member of the BBK Harz and participates in many exhibitions.
