Exhibition poster with the work Marina schminkt Luciano (1975) in connection with this summer's (2024) large Louisiana exhibition, which is the first comprehensive presentation in Scandinavia of Franz Gertsch (1930-2022).
Gertsch came to realism in the late 1960s after first flirting with a more romantic painting and then collages in the Pop Art style. He used photographic prints and projections before transforming the motifs into paintings using a special method and thanks to his great craftmanship.
.
From the 1980s, Gertsch began transforming his photographic sources into woodcuts. Their monumental size alone invests them with the most extraordinary presence. The selected works in the exhibition will provide an overview of the important phases and recurring themes in Gertsch’s oeuvre.
The exhibition features the large-format works of the 1970s, which led to Gertsch’s international breakthrough at documenta in 1972; his iconic portraits of women from the 1980s; and the monumental sections of nature and landscapes from the past two decades. The paintings will be accompanied and complemented by a selection of the artist’s large-scale woodcuts.
