Franz Gertsch - BLOW UP. A RETROSPECTIVE, Deichtorhallen Hamburg

We are pleased to announce a solo exhibition of Franz Gertsch at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg from December 13th, 2024 to May 4th, 2025.

This retrospective exhibition was realized by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark, in close collaboration with the artist, who sadly passed away in December 2022, and his family, as well as with substantial support from the Franz Gertsch Museum in Burgdorf. It provides a comprehensive overview of Gertsch’s versatile and impressive body of work, highlighting important milestones and recurring themes through selected works. On display are monumental group pictures, portraits, oversized views of nature, and landscapes from more than 60 years of artistic creation. A selection of the artist’s large-scale woodcuts will accompany and complement the paintings.
