Alice Schorbach lives in Amsterdam with an atelier in the port where new, often interconnected, buildings are constantly being erected.
Born in Kassel, she studied at the Ontario Institute of Art in Toronto and then was in Cologne for ten years beginning in 1960. During this time she exhibited with Wolfgang Hake and Galerie Siebrasse. In 1977, from Amsterdam, she took part in the documenta 6 in Kassel, showing book art. In these works one already sees a concern with line, layering and surface, a theme that she further explored in drawings and paintings.
