Steve McCurry is one of the most iconic photographers of our time, widely known for his unforgettable portrait of the Afghan Girl. However, his work extends far beyond a single photograph, unfolding over almost half a century of visual storytelling around the globe.
The world knows Ronnie Wood as the guitarist of the Rolling Stones – but long before he graced the world’s stages, he was an artist. After studying art, he maintained his passion for painting throughout his life, alongside one of the greatest careers in rock history.
Elvira Bach does not create a mere depiction of a woman, but her own image of women—powerful, sensual, and independent. Between symbolism and self-representation, she uses symbols, colors, and forms to tell stories of identity, self-empowerment, and the interplay of art and life. In her art, an image of femininity unfolds that remains true to itself but never stands still: the artist herself moves between self-representation and the constructed image of womanhood, gradually aligning herself more closely with it.
For his 95th anniversary, we celebrate Janosch and his unmistakable visual world, which has touched hearts for generations. Like few other German artists, illustrators, and authors, Janosch (Horst Eckert) has captured hearts for decades. The exhibition showcases originals full of humor, depth, and childlike wisdom – from Tiger and Bear to his quiet, thoughtful drawings. Janosch’s works tell of friendship, freedom, and the courage to see the world through one’s own eyes. An invitation to remember, wonder, and continue dreaming.
Colorful, playful, unmistakable
James Rizzi (1950 – 2011), born in Brooklyn, is considered one of the most popular representatives of Pop Art. His comic-like, intricate cityscapes, inhabited by laughing houses, cheerful people, and the famous Rizzi Birds, radiate pure joy of life.

Geddes became world-famous for her iconic portraits of babies – imaginative, colorful, delicate, and powerful at the same time. Her motifs celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of the beginning of life – while simultaneously drawing attention to the vulnerability of children.

Udo’s premiere exhibition for 30 years of painting in Panic-color
Since 1995, panic rocker Udo Lindenberg has been painting pictures in Panic-color. His color-intensive “Likörelle” (liqueur-elles), which he conjures onto the canvas with the help of eggnog, Blue Curacao, and other stimulating drinks, are legendary. Equally so are his “Acryrelle” made with diluted acrylic paints.
