Five years after Hans Werner Henze's death, it has been possible to make a large proportion of his art works accessible to the public for the first time by means of this documentation and the accompanying exhibition.
The exhibition includes Henze's first and last pictures and covers a period of 32 years, from 1975 (draft for a Rosenthal artist-designed plate with the accompanying plate) to 2007 ("a new phase"). The catalogue depicts the 93 paintings belonging to the Paul Sacher Foundation, as well as four pictures from private collections. If there is a direct correlation to Henzes' music, we have added the corresponding passage of the piano score, the printed score, the autograph of the score, or of the short score if the fair copy was made by an assistant.
