To mark the 100th anniversary of the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg e.V., the Hamburger Kunsthalle will show in its Hubertus Wald Forum a broad selection of lithographs, screenprints, etchings, woodcuts, and also photographs and C-prints from the 100 years of the programme, as well as some archival documents. The association has been publishing original graphic editions since 1925, making print series by selected artists available to its members. The works are chosen not according to their formal or thematic coherence but because they provide a repre-sentative idea of the respective artist’s oeuvre based on examples of their graphic work. The Griffelkunst-Vereinigung editions typically showcase established national and international artists alongside lesser-known, often younger artists of diverse nationalities and generations as well as collaborations with printmakers. This extraordinary graphics association today counts 4,500 members throughout Germany. The Hamburger Kunsthalle has been involved from the outset and has presented many of the series in various exhibitions over the years.

Hans Kunitzberg is an Austrian artist who takes a long time to paint his large paintings, which are layered with different colors. The artist believes that his mission is to initiate a dialogue between the work and the audience, and the artist's personality is a secondary consideration. With the exhibition HANNS KUNITZBERGER. Image 2002-2005, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is presenting the expansive, multi-part work of the Austrian painter Hanns Kunitzberger (*1955). His canvases are created in a lengthy process of multiple overpaintings, the different levels of which shine through the superimposed areas of color. The pictures thus acquire a quality of transparency that can be seen metaphorically as time shimmering through. In their color language and serial monumentality, the artist's large-scale paintings change the space: their presentation in the domed hall of the Hamburger Kunsthalle takes up the great history of this hall as an exhibition space and evokes spatial painting experiences such as in the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris.
