Entsprungen – Arising
August 13 – September 27, 2026

A thematic exhibition reinterpreting illustrations by Gustave Doré and related biblical passages, focusing on “Judith Presenting the Head of Holofernes”, “The Tower of Babel” and “Noah’s Ark”.

The group exhibition “Entsprungen – Arising” is dedicated to the illustrations of French artist Gustave Doré, who created the monumental Bible edition “La Grande Bible de Tours” in the 19th century. The selection of 24 regional and international artists showcases a wide variety of media, ranging from painting, sculpture, and lithography to prints and sound installations. This diversity offers a multi-perspective view of the historical narratives, reinterpreting biblical themes for the present day.

Axel Schöber (Art-isotope, founded 2000) has organized over 100 exhibitions and represented his artists at numerous art fairs. With this year’s exhibitions at Wertheim Castle, the gallery is sending a clear signal about the importance of contemporary art in rural areas and strengthening the region’s cultural profile. The selection of participants was made in collaboration with Professor Dr. Gerhard Kilger from Wilhelmsfeld (near Heidelberg). Kilger, a physicist and lithography expert, served as director of the DASA in Dortmund for many years and received the Senefelder Prize in 2023.
