GÜNTHER FÖRG

This winter season, Hauser & Wirth brings the work of Günther Förg (1952–2013), one of the most significant post-war German artists, to Tarmak22 in Gstaad. The presentation focuses on the later years of Förg’s artistic production and draws on the relationship between works spanning from 1997 to 2009. On view are photographs, acrylic paintings, and works on paper, bringing together the various aspects of the artist’s multidisciplinary practice. Taken in the Swiss alps in the winter of 1997, the photographs in the exhibition depict landscapes covered in snow and were the source of inspiration for Förg’s series ‘Mostly Landscapes’, created more than a decade later in 2009, and are presented side-by-side for the first time in this exhibition. Mostly Landscapes at Tarmak22 coincides with Günther Förg. Appearance at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, the first solo exhibition of the artist in Los Angeles.
