Description
Book SynopsisFollowing the fusion of three important Winterthur collections to create the Kunst Museum Winterthur, this lavishly illustrated volume presents the highlights of the three museums for the first time: from Rembrandt via Caspar David Friedrich to Vincent van Gogh, and from Pablo Picasso via Alberto Giacometti and Sophie Taueber-Arp to Isa Genzken and Gerhard Richter. In 2024, the Kunst Museum Winterthur is celebrating the re-opening of the Villa Flora. The merging of three museums and collections under a single roof is therefore being documented in an opulent illustrated book. The catalogue presents the museum treasures of the Kunstverein Winterthur, the Oskar Reinhart Foundation and the Hahnloser/Jäggli Foundation with over 100 masterpieces of classical painting, sculpture and graphics together with new media including video works and installations that trace an arc from the Age of the Baroque to the present day.
