The artist Galli was born in Saarland in 1944. After completing her basic apprenticeship at the Werkkunstschule in Saarbrücken with Oscar Holweck, she moved to Berlin in 1969 where she studied under and later became the master student of the Dutch artist and graphic designer Martin Engelmann, who was influenced by the Cobra Group. Galli’s arrival to Berlin aligned with the '68 uprisings in German in which political provocation, awakening, and upheaval expanded beyond the university. At the beginning of the 1980s, the Neuen Wilden movement developed in Germany and Austria, a group mainly dominated by men, to which Galli likes to be assigned, but which she consciously distanced herself from in her painting.

The exhibition See How You Get On curated by Annabell Burger includes about fifty works created between 1985 and 2015. Among them are rarely shown artists' books and drawings, as well as paintings from Galli's most productive years.
