Search for Meaning and Crisis

18 September - 15 November 2015

During the Fotofestival, the Prinzhorn Collection will be presenting in its cabinets works of two female artists of the Collection’s modern stock. Sonja Gerstner and Marcia Blaessle both painted their dreams and nightmares until they took their own lives.
