Franz Gertsch: Polyfocal AlloverFranz Gertsch: Polyfocal Allover

Published by Lars Müller Publishers/Swiss Institute/Karma, New York.
Edited with introduction by Simon Castets. Text by Tobia Bezzola, Eva Kenny, Timothy Leary, Dieter Roelstraete.

A leading figure of photorealist painting, Franz Gertsch (born 1930) has created monumental portraits of charismatic youths and meditative depictions of nature in vivid and painstaking detail over the course of a career spanning more than a half-century, which has proved of increasing influence upon subsequent generations.

Polyfocal Allover surveys paintings and woodcut prints from 1970 to 2019, reflecting a vision in which all that lies within the frame is accorded equal value. The essays, interviews and conversations in this publication bring further definition to the lives and landscapes that Gertsch renders with such virtuosic, eerie precision.

Franz Gertsch: The SeventiesFranz Gertsch: The Seventies

Published by Hatje Cantz.
Text by Angelika Affentranger-Kirchrath, Jean-Christophe Ammann, Kathleen Bühler, Luciano Castelli, Andreas Fiedler, Matthias Frehner, Helmut Friedel, Franz Gertsch, Maria Gertsch-Meer, Josef Helfenstein, Cathérine Hug, Anette Hüsch, Peter Iseli, Rita Kersting, Harald Kunde, Christiane Lange, Rainer Michael Mason, Elisabeth Nowak-Thaller, Anna M. Schafroth, Erika Schlessinger-Költzsch, Hemma Schmutz, Bernhart Schwenk, Samuel Vitali, Guido de Werd, Anna Wesle, Beat Wismer.

In 1969, Franz Gertsch (born 1930) painted Huaa...!, depicting a man on horseback, wildly galloping, which was base on a film still found in a magazine. Photographs have formed the basis for his work ever since. Generally produced by Gertsch himself, and included in this new survey of his early career, these photographs range from snapshots of the young Gertsch family, pictures from a trip to the South of France, photos of his encounters with Luciano Castelli and his dazzling circle of friends, and portraits of Patti Smith.

Published in the year of the artist’s 90th birthday, Franz Gertsch: The Seventies presents a selection of key works from the 1970s, reproduced both in full and with details at original size. Zeroing in on these almost abstract-looking details reveals the vibrant virtuosity of the paintings and their shimmering surfaces.

Franz GertschFranz Gertsch

Published by Kerber.
Edited with text by Roland Mönig. Text by Mona Stocker.

Swiss painter Franz Gertsch (born 1930) has developed his photorealistic style over the last four decades. At the heart of this new monograph are his woodcuts: gigantic, enlarged monochrome images of leaves or flowing water that capture only a fraction of a second through a painstaking printmaking process.

Franz Gertsch: Retrospective

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

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

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Essay by Paul Tanner.

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.
