Topsy Küppers: Grand Dame of Small Art

Topsy Küppers, born in 1931 in Aachen, passed away on June 14 at the age of 93 in Vienna. She had lived in Austria's capital since 1962 and established the Freie Bühne Wieden there, which she led for 25 years, writing small art history with numerous productions. In terms of content, Topsy Küppers skillfully combined light-hearted wit with serious concerns, as she always fought against misogyny, anti-Semitism, and fascism. For her cultural commitment, Topsy Küppers was awarded, among others, the Cultural Prize of the City of Vienna, the Golden Merit Badge of the State of Vienna, the Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Art, and the professional title of Professor.
