Cosima von Bonin
Cosima von Bonin is a german artist who was born in 1962 at
the place called Kenya, but she’s been living in Germany since
she was young. They say she’s a really famous artist but I didn’t
know about her till Witte de With. She have had 23 exhibitions
and prices for her artwork.
She places and makes art all over the world, for example:
Berlin, Los Angelos, New York, Rotterdam and Madrid.
Her art is supposed to display laziness and tiredness, But I
tought it was kind of boring. XD
