Heckler Collection, written by Valérie Rousseau (ed.), Jane Kallir, Anne-Imelda Radice, and 29 additional authors. AMERICAN FOLK ART MUSEUM Alfred Kubin and the Prinzhorn CollectionMarch 2 – July 30, 2017 Prinzhorn Collection in Heidelberg, from March 2 until July 30, will show approximately 100 works and will reconstruct Expressionist painter Kubin’s opinion on the artists he presented anonymously in an article written in 1920, in which he expressed his desire for the Heidelberg masterpieces to have a venue where they could be exhibited on a permanent basis, so that “a freshness of spirit would radiate from this place where art created by the mentally ill was being collected”.
