Exhibition: Detektiv Tudor unterwegs im Westend by Marius Snüri

We’re happy to host our good friend Marius Snüri and his latest series of artworks that focus on two of Frankfurt’s most iconic logos.

Founded in 1967, the eponymous detective agency’s logo is as much part of Frankfurt’s visual identity as its skyscrapers. Similarly, Marriott’s neon red sign atop the Westend Gate high-rise is an integral part of the cityscape. Just like Tudor’s logo is likely familiar to most passersby in downtown Frankfurt, the Marriott logo has been greeting those driving into the city or approaching by plane since 1989. 

Detektiv Tudor unterwegs im Westend (Detective Tudor on the move in Westend) integrates these identity markers into a playful series of abstract comic paintings. The exhibition also includes self-portrait of the artist: unlike most self-portraits, however, the portrait is not a painting or a photograph but a hand-knitted rug. 

All artworks are available for purchase at MARIA. The exhibition will be on display until April 5.
