Village Views - Schellenberg

With the continuation of the series “Fine Arts from Liechtenstein,” Philately Liechtenstein once again honors the creative diversity of the country. The 2026 edition presents two more personalities from the world of contemporary art and showcases their works on special stamps.

The first special stamp shows a work by the sculptor “Hugo Marxer” (face value CHF 1.20), who was born in 1948 and grew up in Eschen. The sculpture, created from Carrara marble, is exemplary of his artistic thinking: the starting point is the drawing, the line on the paper. This is transferred step by step into space, thus gaining body, presence, and tangibility. The work combines the visual with the haptic and invites us to perceive movement and form in a new way.

The second special stamp is dedicated to the work of “Sunhild Wollwage” (face value CHF 1.90). Born in 1938, the artist creates her picture panels from natural materials such as pollen, colored earth, and charcoal. The focus is on the quiet poetry of nature, which cannot be explained but must be experienced. The artist sees her work as a process of discovery while walking – her works reflect the originality and fertility of the earth in delicate, multi-layered color spaces.
