Following groundbreaking exhibitions at Tate Britain in 2013 and Serpentine Gallery in 2017, this publication accompanies the first Swiss solo exhibition for British painter Rose Wylie (born 1934), whose bold, playful paintings on unprimed canvas oscillate between surreal pop and wild punk, featuring motifs from popular culture.

Rose Wylie is considered one of the most important contemporary British artists, although she did not achieve her international breakthrough until she was very old. The horse and swan of the painting Rescue Horse, Orange Border travel through Rose Wylie's paintings in a narrative by Markus Stegmann and let them speak in an unusual way.
