On Friday, March 27, 2026, at 6 p.m., all interested parties are cordially invited to the opening of the special exhibition "'But you, Lord, set me free'. The pictorial worlds of the artist Gertrud Hornung." at the Transylvanian Museum.
The retrospective presents drawings, prints and watercolors by the now almost forgotten artist Gertrud Hornung (1937-1977) from Sighișoara in Transylvania. It provides an overview of her artistic work in the years 1963 - 1977, which was characterized above all by inner turmoil and a spiritual search for meaning, repeatedly interrupted by contemplative stays in a Benedictine monastery.
The works therefore provide an emotional insight into a highly sensitive artist's soul and encourage reflection on her own religious and existential questions.
A catalog raisonné of Helga Lutsch's works will be published to accompany the exhibition.
