With a notable range of large-sized paintings, but also different-sized woodcuts since 1986, the museum is able to call itself the biggest collection of Gertsch works. The exhibition also includes the painting Johanna I 1983/1984, which signalised the transition from photo-realistic to conceptual painting.
