Michael Mathias Prechtl in Etzelwang: An exhibition full of heads, time, and stories

With the special exhibition Heads. Times. Story(ies). Michael Mathias Prechtl on His 100th Birthday, an exceptional artist takes center stage, who has left traces far beyond Amberg. The showcase will take place on October 31, 2026 in the Felsenkeller Etzelwang and connects art history with a special pre-reporting on the anniversary year of the painter, draftsman, and illustrator born in 1926. Prechtl gained international recognition, among other things through cover pages for the New York Times and DER SPIEGEL.

This very mix makes the event experience so appealing: visitors not only experience works but an atmospheric approach to the personality, zeitgeist, and imagery of a remarkable talent from the Upper Palatinate. The special exhibition portrays Prechtl as a precise observer and a visually powerful storyteller.
