Appreciation
Already in 1899 the sculptor Clara Westhoff made a bust of her friend Paula Becker as a symbol of their friendship and shared passion for art.
Her daughter Tillie (1907-1998) founded the Paula Modersohn-Becker-Foundation (Paula Modersohn-Becker-Stiftung) in 1978.
In 1988 a stamp with the portrait of Paula Modersohn-Becker was issued in the series Women in German history by the Deutsche Bundespost.
