Art lovers from around the world have known for years: the Kunstmuseum Winterthur is always worth a visit. In Winterthur, Dieter Schwarz (born 1953) has organized countless exhibitions that have been eye-openers. Always presented in a compelling and intelligent manner, Dieter Schwarz has showcased classics and contemporaries, well-known and lesser-known, often unjustly forgotten artists with valid excerpts of their work. The secret to the success of this gifted museum director? He is not only a highly educated, extremely meticulous scholar, a productive publicist, and a skilled organizer, but he also possesses something of an artist himself: he perceives art as well as the artists do, instantly recognizing substance and quality. Trends and contemporary movements are foreign to him, which is rare today. Thus, over the years, Winterthur has become a hidden gem for art lovers.
