Sarah Zagefka – Fortunabud
The painting titled “Fortunabud”, created in 2025 by Sarah Zagefka, fits perfectly into the canon of her previous works. The artist is known for paintings that depict everyday scenes such as market stalls or snack stands and artist ateliers, where one can sense that life is happening there, without a single soul being around. Her artwork also reflects it, portraying a typical drinking hall in Düsseldorf called “Fortuna Bud”. Such establishments are everyday scenes in Düsseldorf, and the specifically named drinking hall is part of that experience. It is a scene that plays out in the real world just as it does in the painting. Through this everyday scenario, one can gain an impression of the owner, and the customers of the snack stand through small clues, such as national flags and football stickers, without having seen them before.
