2025Fine Arts from Liechtenstein - Set

As part of our “Fine Arts from Liechtenstein” series, we are once again putting the spotlight on two artists and their life's work this year. The special stamps show paintings by “Bruno Kaufmann” (face value CHF 1.00) and “Gertrud Kohli” (face value CHF 1.20). Bruno Kaufmann's (*1944) work “Diaphan A4” was created using the Diaphan technique as a digital print on canvas. At the heart of his work is a creative approach based on rational form and color combinations and the playful exploration of new intermediary colors. For the artist, the computer is the ideal tool for developing ideas and advance into spheres unknown to him. Gertrud Kohli's (*1945) work “Rose” was created in 1994 as an acrylic painting (125x110x3cm) on wood. The rose sets a double accent: it blossoms for humans as an existential experience, glowing and with an enchanting fragrance in the garden of life, but also as a symbol of life, even with thorns. At the same time, it is a woody plant, an ornament on the apple tree and produces a fruit. The “Rose” thus becomes the translation between nature and the viewer
