The Annual Meeting 2000
was held at
Kantonsspital St.Gallen
on April 6 - 8

The painting reproduced here (verre églomisé technique) is part of a series "Klang- und Tanzbild" (sound and dance) by the St.Gallen artist Karl Fürer. The series was especially designed in 1990 to decorate the new Radiotherapy wing of Kantonsspital St.Gallen; smaller images lead the patient into the waiting area :
