In the Power of Painting

The publication In the Power of Painting is devoted to six artists: Andy Warhol, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Cy Twombly, Brice Marden, and Ross Bleckner. Selected groups of works from the Daros Collection, mainly from the artists’ early periods, reveal their attitude towards painting and trace the emergence of an individual artistic expression and style in each case.

The paintings from the years 1949 to 1998 cover the entire second half of the twentieth century, a turbulent period in the history of art, and irrefutably contradict the assertion of the end of painting.
