Recently, the Prinzhorn Collection was able to acquire with the help of the Brass foundation a unique picture series of 44  drawings. The artist, Wilhelm Werner (1898-1940), lived since 1919 in the Werneck  asylum. He drew the images between 1934 and 1938, after his forced  sterilisation. He transformed the experience of the degrading intervention into a series  of impressively imaginative and original pictures. Two years later Werner  became a victim of the Nazi “euthanasia” programme. His series of drawings is shown for the first time at the Prinzhorn Collection from  the 17th of March.
