Press Release
Badischer Kunstverein are pleased to present an extensive solo exhibition in Germany devoted to Stefan Bertalan (*1930, Răcăștie – 2014, Timișoara), one of the most extraordinary and pioneering Romanian artists. The presentation encompasses several decades of his artistic production, with a focus on the years in Timișoara (beginning 1962) and Sibiu (1982—85) before Bertalan immigrated to Germany with his family (he was able to visit Romania again only after 1989). The exhibition is organized into various chapters that highlight specific pictorial themes, materials, and approaches in Bertalan’s practice, relating these to one another from diverse angles.
