Art Works from the Exhibition

Most of the photos from the second "Stars" exhibition have been taken directly during the show. Some prints, drawings and sculptures were taken out of their show-cases and frames and taken to the gallery's roof-top for better light and to to avoid reflections. Photos of a few art works come from other sources.

These photos do not constitute a complete documentation of the exhibition, but a representative selection of works by some 20 participating artists. There are also authors who contributed Poems, sometimes specifically written to accompany the paintings and sculptures.
