Andreas Brunner Wins 2025 Lucerne Publication Prize, Opens Solo Show

The upcoming exhibition will showcase the 22nd edition of the spot on series, named Substitute for a Sunset, published by Spector Books, which reflects a decade of Brunner’s artistic endeavors. For this exhibition, the artist from Lucerne has developed three new groups of works that evoke a fragmented landscape or a hazy memory.
