Urs Lüthi - Art is the better life

Ort: Sammlung Falckenberg, Harburg

Eröffnung: FR 29 MAI 09, 18 - 21 Uhr

Mit “Art Is The Better Life” zeigt die Sammlung Falckenberg in den Phoenix-Hallen vom 29.5. bis 28.9.2009 die bisher größte Präsentation des künstlerischen Werkes von Urs Lüthi in Deutschland. Die Retrospektive zeigt u.a. die berühmten fotografischen Selbstportraits und die jüngst entstandenen Skulpturen.

Urs Lüthi (b. 1947 in Kriens), now based in Munich, is one of the most significant Swiss artists of the present day. The retrospective will provide the most extensive survey of his work so far. Alongside his little-known early work from the 1960s, his famous photographic self-portraits, painting cycles and most recent sculptures will be shown. Lüthi is a gifted draughtsman, printmaker, painter and sculptor, as well as a story-teller and stager of big stories and small emotions. This dialectic of form and content, which guides the viewer into an experience that is both aesthetic and intellectual, informs his whole oeuvre.
