FRANZ GERTSCH – SEASONS WORKS 1983 -2011

Posted on 2011-06-13

This retrospective features 30 large-format paintings and woodcuts by Franz Gertsch, one of Switzerland’s leading contemporary artists. The exhibition, entitled ‘Seasons’, brings together in the large exhibition gallery his realistic works from the period between 1983 and 2011, culminating in his recently completed ‘Four Seasons Cycle’. Gertsch 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.
