Kunst Museum Winterthur - by Konrad Bitterli & Andrea Lutz & Kunst Museum Winterthur (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The highlights of Winterthur's collections from the Baroque to the present day.

Following the merger of three important Winterthur collections to form the Kunst Museum Winterthur, this volume presents the highlights of the three museums for the first time in splendidly illustrated form: from Rembrandt to Caspar David Friedrich to Vincent van Gogh; from Pablo Picasso to Alberto Giacometti; and from Sophie Taueber-Arp to Isa Genzken and Gerhard Richter.

In 2024, the Kunst Museum Winterthur celebrates the reopening of the Villa Flora, sealing the union of three houses and collections under one roof in an opulent illustrated book. This catalog presents the museum treasures of the Kunstverein Winterthur, the Oskar Reinhart Foundation, and the Hahnloser/Jäggli Foundation with over one hundred masterpieces of classical painting, sculpture, and graphic art alongside more recent media such as video works and installations, spanning the period from the Baroque to the present.
