Gunther Foerg - Master of the UniverseGunther Foerg (1952-2013) is a great renewer of painting between modernism and the present, between Europe and America, between abstract-laconic minimalism and delicately gestural expres-siveness. Kunstverein Reutlingen presents a selection of his paintings from the collection of Brunhilde and Gunther Friedrichs spanning the years 1976 until 2008: 100 paintings as well as works on paper from more than three decades will be introduced to the public for the first time, allowing for an impressive survey of the both hazardous and sensuous ventures of Gunther Foerg’s painting.

The volume for Kunstverein Reutlingen now -follows the numerous books that Gunther Foerg -produced together with Snoeck. The collaboration began in 2002 with a festschrift on the occasion of his 50th birthday (published 2005) and continued in the follow-ing years with a whole series– eleven in total–of wonderful publications. After his death in 2015, an exhibition catalog was published on the presentation of wall paintings at Deichtorhallen. That same year also saw the pub-lication of the -volume Foerg. Wallpaintings 1978-2013 , on which the artist had worked until the very end (please also have a look on our extra page with all publications on Gunther Foerg).
