After all, works by 19 artists and by the gallerist herself have to be accommodated, and she was forced into a “Petersburg hang”: the pictures hang one above the other. The retrospective runs until September 3. Regina Held’s archaic-looking, earthy paper sculptures are still fresh in the memory. Gönül Sen is represented with eight color-strong abstract pictures; the landscapes painted in oil by the Belgian Walter Theunynck are almost classical.

A wide range of techniques is represented: woodcuts, prints, objects – and Gerda Türke herself shows 54 watercolors. Some deal with landscapes, others with the theme of rust – shaped by an engagement with color.

Original caption: Pictures upon pictures: Gerda Türke’s exhibition – here in front of pictures by Gönül Sen – almost bursts the gallery.
