Sonja Gerstner Biography

Sonja Gerstner is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on June 13, 1952 in Berlin, Germany.

Sonja Gerstner (13 June 1952 – 8 March 1971) was an East German artist and writer. She died young, after which publication by her mother of a book containing some of her poems, diary entries and other writings covering treatment she had received for her psychotic illness brought her to the attention of an audience beyond the usual confines of the arts and literature establishment.

When she was 17 Sonja displayed the first signs of psychotic illness. Several stays in closed psychiatric wards, where she was subjected to Insulin shock therapy and Electroconvulsive therapy intensified her sense of helplessness and spiritual isolation. Her attempts to make herself understood were mostly ignored. Her parents’ desperate attempts on her behalf to find psychotherapeutic care were unsuccessful. Advised by doctors to cut herself off from her friends, Gerstner encountered growing difficulties at school and college. At the end of her third stay in the clinic she was released in December 1970 and moved into her own apartment, but experienced loneliness and an acute sense of inadequacy. She ended her life on 8 March 1971. The date has added significance because 8 March was celebrated in East Germany (and elsewhere) as International Women’s Day.
