Jan Jedlicka is a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, photographer and filmmaker, but also a wanderer, observer and explorer. His paintings are primarily a record of what he experiences as he walks through the landscape and engages with its changes. Combining different techniques and media, he creates multi-layered images of places he observes, usually over long periods of time. Formative for him were his sojourns in the Italian Maremma, Prague, and some areas in the British Isles. The publication opens up Jedlicka's work in its entirety – not chronologically, but as a mapping of the artist's movements through the landscape and along the paths of his various artistic strategies.

Through a decade of friendship, sharing the same environs and being active collectors, Sonja Graber and Christian Graber are inextricably connected to the photographer Annelies Strba, the jewellery and object artist Bernhard Schobinger and the painter Adrian Schiess. A far cry from thoughts of prestige and conjecture, one of the most extensive collections from all genres of the three Swiss artists has now emerged out of artistic and personal esteem. In the collectors, the artists and the Kunsthaus Zug, like-minded people have come together in the most indiscriminate appreciation of fine and applied art. To mark the occasion of the donation of the Graber collections to the museum, the three internationally renowned artists along with hitherto largely unpublished works are now united in one publication.
