The exhibition “I like a bigger garden” takes Betty Parsons’ smart and charming reply literally: we actually see flowers, trees, blossoms and leaves, that is, gar dens, in the paintings by Charlotte Herzig (*1983), Ben Sledsens (*1991) and Jose phine Troller (1908–2004). Moreover, the exhibition aims to care for the bigger garden in a figurative sense too, placing the work of the deceased Lucerne artist Josephine Troller in context with two con temporary positions. This encounter with the younger generation shows just how much power, fantasy and remarkable daring her work encompasses.
