Franz Gertsch
10 Jun, 2011 - 18 Sep, 2011
The Kunsthaus Z眉rich is staging a retrospective featuring round 30 large-format paintings and woodcuts by Franz Gertsch 鈥� one of Switzerland鈥檚 leading contemporary artists. The exhibition, entitled 鈥楽easons鈥�, brings together in the large exhibition gallery his realistic works from the period between 1983 and 2011, culminating in his recently completed 鈥楩our Seasons Cycle鈥�.
Franz Gertsch (*1930) is one of the most important Swiss artists of the present day. He rose to international fame in the 1970s with his hyper-realist paintings, and works from this period have fetched top prices at recent auctions. Yet his outstanding reputation stems equally from his woodcuts, unique both technically and in format. The opening of the current exhibition coincides with the completion of his masterful 鈥楩our Seasons Cycle鈥�, which runs like a thread through the presentation. The show, however, goes far beyond Gertsch鈥檚 latest work to offer a retrospective of his production since 1983.
