The current exhibition at the Vito Schnabel Gallery St. Moritz features new works by the American superstar painter Julian Schnabel.
Vito Schnabel shows expansive works by his father Julian Schnabel at his gallery in St. Moritz. They are potent in both their complexity and expressive power, as well as in their purely physical presence. The six works in the series
Trees of Home (For Peter Beard) from the year 2020, so-called Plate Paintings, consist of broken pieces of ceramic out of which and upon which the image conveyed isdeveloped, and which makes the painting into a threedimensional
work close to sculpture. Julian Schnabel first used this technique in 1978.
