Works
editOne of her most important works is the poster for the 2nd German Art Exhibition in Dresden in 1949, which shows a stylized dove of peace. When the 1st prize competition for the best German poster was held in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1950, Mönkemeyer-Corty's poster was the only East German poster to be selected by the jury.
Designed between 1910 and 1914, the poster for wire mesh by the Dresden-based company Louis Hermann is now part of the collection of the German Historical Museum with the inventory number P 57/605.[2]
