The first privately owned collection of posters presented by the gallery owner Werner Röthlisberger is an expression of his passion for this art, particularly from Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).

The exhibition shows a selection of 55 original posters by Picasso from his collection of 250 . It is one of the world´s most complete collections of posters from Picasso.

Picasso worked intensively with all graphic techniques and experimented with different printing processes such as woodcut, linocut, copper engraving and lithography.

Like many artists of his time, he was intensely involved in printmaking, especially after the end of the Second World War.
