The group of works "Malerstamm" by Jörg Immendorff shows monkeys as symbols of an artistic community. In an ironic twist, Immendorff transfers the concept of the "tribe" to the art world and depicts artists as both creative and instinct-driven actors. The monkeys function as a mirror of human behavior and critically refer to dynamics such as competition, vanity and imitation within the art scene.
