CURTAIN UP! Tourist caricatures by Anton Frühauf
A Touriseum special exhibition in the staircase of Trauttmansdorff Castle

Special exhibition
South Tyrol Museum of Tourism
01.04.-15.11.2012
The exhibition was dedicated to the works of Anton Frühauf who caricatured holidaymakers from his own perspective.
Anton Frühauf (*1914 in Meran; †1999 in Meran) made a worldwide reputation for himself as a jewellery designer. An astute observer of nature, human beings and the environment, he transformed his ideas into (sometimes) bizarre jewellery models. His versatility as an artist is also evident in his subtle caricatures, such as “Tyroleans in Palm Beach” or “German women in the rain”: with his sharp pen, his pointed works in India ink, pencil, gouache, watercolour or mixed media, Anton Frühauf caricatured holidaymakers from his own perspective.
