This volume takes Franz Gertsch’s new Four Seasons cycle, completed in 2011, as an occasion to look back on his paintings, prints and drawings of the past 30 years. One of Switzerland’s leading contemporary artists, Gertsch is a virtuoso of hyperrealism, as his newest series demonstrates.

Franz Gertsch: Retrospective

Essays by Matthias Frehner, Joachim Jäger, Ulrich Loock, Peter Schneemann, Reinhard Spieler and Samuel Vitali.
Published by Hatje Cantz Publishers

Retrospective, the most comprehensive monograph to date on the work of Franz Gertsch, celebrates the painter's 75th birthday. Since Harald Szeemann's legendary Documenta 5 in 1972, Gertsch has been one of the most significant photorealist or hyperrealist painters in the world. As a participant in three Venice Biennales, most recently in 2003, and the subject of solo shows at institutions including The Museum of Modern Art, New York, Gertsch has received some of the highest honors the art world has to offer. In 2002 the Museum Franz Gertsch opened in Burgdorf, near Bern, Switzerland: it is dedicated to his work--a rare honor for any living artist--and features a wide variety of it. Retrospective collects Gertsch's most important large-format paintings and monumental woodcuts, along with a broad selection of gouaches and watercolors from the late 1960s to the present, and includes a catalogue raisonnª of the paintings.

Franz Gertsch: Aquarelle-Schottland 1961-1965

Essay by Paul Tanner.
Published by Walther König, Köln

In the early 1960s, the Swiss-born realist painter Franz Gertsch visited Scotland. Inspired by the flourishing of Abstract Expressionism in Europe, as well as the Scottish landscape, which so readily lent itself to that form of painting--open, verdurous, free--he created the watercolors collected in this volume. This publication is the most comprehensive presentation of all Gertsch's early watercolors in full-page color illustration, and establishes him as an important watercolor painter to be ranked along with Thomas Schttte and Luc Tuymans.
