Already today, on November 8, 2025, visitors can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of the artist, whose path to success was rather rocky.

The Kunstforum's collection includes an impressive twelve paintings, over 500 works on paper and all of Corinth's sketchbooks. The exhibition sheds light on the artist's development and the different phases of his work.

A highlight are the rare early works and important major works that come from the Kunstforum's extensive collection and loans, such as scenes from rural life and atmospheric landscapes from Lake Walchensee.
