FRANZISKA BECKER ON FABRICS, FASHION, SAFETY PINS, AND CARS
Titus Billings, Global Arts Press
“Safety pins.” Franziska Becker replied without a moment’s hesitation when I asked her what fashion essential she was never without. “Safety pins. They’ve been my constant companion since I was in my ‘teens. And they’ve saved me from more of what Americans call ‘wardrobe malfunctions’ than you can imagine. But they’re also accessories for me; by that I mean safety-pin-pins, as in brooches. My favorite was stolen maybe seven years ago, along with a sweater, in a US chain restaurant called Romano’s Macaroni Grill. I’m still in mourning, and I’ve never found anything close to an adequate replacement. Whenever I pass by the scene of the crime, I become a little wistful.”

Goettingen Moose Prize
"A lifetime achievement warded given to artists whose contributions to satire and caricature merit special recognition. Presented to Franziska Becker on January 28th., 2012.
"Franziska Becker is without qualification the most accomplished woman cartoonist in Germany. Her advocacy of women's rights is likewise deserving of high praise. And her keen insight and heartfelt humor are tempered by a witty self-deprecation; hence she brings unique gifts to graphically representing The Battle of the Sexes. Most significant, she succeeds marvelously in depicting the conditions and contradictions of everyday life in a brilliantly witty fashion..." (Excerpted from the award panel's statement).
