Be Happy!

The SCHIRN is presenting a major solo exhibition of the Frankfurt-based artist. The central focus of the show lies on works from the past fifteen years of his career, together with complementary works from the 1960s and 1970s, which laid the innovative foundations for his characteristic “Superforms”.
