Ewald Frick. Anatomy of a Scriptural Trace
27 November 2025 – 31 January 2026
The exhibition organised by the Museo della Grafica (Municipality of Pisa, University of Pisa) is curated by Maura Formica and Michael Jakob. For Ewald Frick, the world is a text composed of traces ranging from early Christian characters to the printed pages of modern books. In his fascinating work, Liechtenstein artist Ewald Frick weaves a dialogue between texts he has read and objects he has found in the most diverse places.
