Hauser & Wirth presents Franz Gertsch: Presence, a survey of the late Swiss artist’s hyperrealist paintings and woodcuts. Transforming photographs into meditations on time and perception, Gertsch sought to redefine realism through precision and depth. Featuring iconic portraits like Patti Smith III & IV and landscapes such as Guadeloupe, the exhibition reveals his mastery of light, texture, and the living essence of his subjects.
