In remembrance of Hermann Nitsch

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Hermann Nitsch at age 83 this week and express our heartfelt condolences, mourning both his artistic contribution over the course of his life but even more so the truly remarkable human he was.

In remembrance of Hermann Nitsch and our relationship with the artist, we revisited one of the most extraordinary projects we have worked on in the years past: together with the Bavarian State Opera, where Nitsch staged the new production of Olivier Messiaens' "Saint François D'Assise" during the Munich Opera Festival in 2011 for the first time, Galerie Thomas presented a comprehensive exhibition of his works and was deeply honoured to welcome the artist for a range of talks and events.
