In the first comprehensive Albert Uderzo exhibition outside France, visitors can immerse themselves in the Uderzo universe.
In addition to Asterix, Obelix and Idefix, they will also encounter lesser-known characters such as Jehan Pistolet, Oumpah-Pah or Tanguy and Laverdure. Early works, sketches, original pages and personal items by Uderzo and his life friend and work partner René Goscinny offer an insight into six decades of creative work. The exhibition is curated by Berlin comic author Flix and Sylvie Uderzo, Uderzo's daughter. The exhibition has been organised with the kind support of Egmont Ehapa Media, Berlin and Hachette Livre, Paris.
Asterix. The clever little Gaul is Europe's most successful comic character. 400 million of his adventure comic books have been sold worldwide so far.
Albert Uderzo (1927 – 2020) is the man who created Asterix together with his lifelong friend, the legendary author René Goscinny, and spent decades drawing the stories from the Gaulish village — across 34 albums. Uderzo’s humor and art style are one-of-a-kind. But there's so much more to Albert Uderzo.
The exhibition "UDERZO – From Asterix to Magic Potion" at the Museum for Communication Berlin showcases Uderzo’s wide-ranging work: from his amazing journey as a young boy who admired Walt Disney to becoming one of the greatest artists of the golden age of comics.
For the first time outside of France, so many original pages, sketches, early works, and personal items from Uderzo’s studio are on display. Characters like Pitt Pistolet, Umpah-pah, Tanguy, and of course Asterix, Obelix, and Dogmatix, along with the villagers, are introduced to the audience.
This exhibition is curated by Berlin-based comic artist Flix, offering the German public its first look into the spectacular creative processes of this great master of the ninth art.
