• The "Finger-Schnitte" (finger cuts) are one of the most important groups within Lambert Maria Wintersberger's oeuvre.
• The distanced and precise depictions of injuries and the aestheticisation of pain in this pop art interpretation have a highly critical undertone in line with the protest movements of the late 1960s.
• His works are in the collections of the Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf, the Museum am Ostwall, Dortmund, and the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst, Gent.
