The theme of this year’s Picture Ballot at Kunsthaus is architecture as a subject for art. It looks at the classic city view, which not only documents the appearance of a place, but can also evolve into an object of memory and longing for the observer. It reveals how the construction of pictured architecture and mapped-out city designs become a playground for utopias and visions. A prime example is Max Ernst, whose Surrealist work <em>La ville entière</em> (1935 - 1936) forms the centrepiece of this exhibition curated by Manuela Reissmann. Among the more than 20 magnificent paintings, monumental photographs and minimalist sculptures are works by Bernardo Bellotto, Francesco Guardi, Vincent van Gogh, Nicolas de Staël, Thomas Struth and many others.
