The work of Günter Fruhtrunk (1923–1982) was ubiquitous during the Bonn Republic of the 1960s and 1970s. However, his silkscreen prints and paintings made up of rhythmized, vibrantly colorful diagonals, stripes and lines are indispensable components of numerous collections and museums to this day. The Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Kunstsammlung NRW, the Lenbachhaus in Munich, and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin each owns works by this daring colorist and outstanding postwar Modernist.
