The master is back! Gerhard Glück's fans in Basel had to be patient for over 25 years before his enigmatic paintings returned to the Cartoon Museum. The artist, who was born in Bad Vilbel in 1944, will be 80 years old in 2024. The retrospective at the Cartoon Museum will show the whole of Glück, from his first cartoons in the early 1970s to his most recent works. Glück is one of the best-known representatives of comic art; he was honored with the German Cartoon Prize in Gold in 2000 and 2005 and was awarded the Göttinger Elch for his life's work in 2017.
